CHEW is a wonderfully executed short with some genuine, engaging performances from its cast. The exchanges between Chew and Shannon, brimming with palpable subtext, were particularly strong! The director finely weaves one scene to another in a non-linear way but still managed to keep me following closely to Chew's journey of self-discovery. It's obvious that this short was meant as an "appetizer" for a much larger, more involved Feature project. I found myself curious as to what happens next between Chew and each of her scene partners. In this sense, CHEW did much to whet my appetite and left me wanting more. If this was the filmmaker's intent then I say, "Bring on the feature!"
