Cashback

As a photographer, I get this movie. It's about seeing life in it's tiny moments and being able to capture them forever. That's what the main character Ben who's an aspiring sketch/painter shows us throughout the film. That ability that so few have of being able to show down time, even stop it, and find the lines, curves, elegance and refinement of life. This is something shared with great athletes who can slow down their game and see the avenues of winning.

Yes, Ben's obsessed with the beauty of the female form, and you'll see lots of naked bodies, but most of the world's greatest artist have that same obsession. They've been able to capture them and share them with the world as great works of art.

Ben's journey also takes us through his personal struggles of being unable to relate with people in the real world. Something many artist share.

I find this movie a wonderful capsule of how to to find the allure of life. It's right under our noses folks. Just slow down, take the moment in, and let time come to a stop, and it's there.

alright - i first watched the full length movie, and this prompted me to look up the original short movie. i was astonished to see the exact scenes from the full movie comprise this short length. initially i thought somehow these scenes were later integrated into the full length, but my thought is that the full length was probably already in post-production when someone decided to 'promote' the film by giving out this short version first (which is nothing bad).

it actually works as a short movie, but having seen the full one i cant really comment on it because it is like a trailer to the full movie - it has the essence of the main plot, but nothing more than a hint of the beautiful ideas and artwork of the full length movie.

i loved the full movie, watch it and probably you will like it too

10/10, which is how i vote for the full length movie :)

peace

Cashback is a gem of a short film. It has a unique visual aesthetic laced with a wicked sense of humour. Sean Ellis gets beautiful performances from his actors, played out beneath the life sapping neon of this enclosed world, brilliantly creating the boredom of the lives of the nightshift workers in a 24 hour supermarket. We're sucked into their twilight existence and treated to the surreal, bizarre and comic; as the characters each find their way to make it through the graveyard shift.

It makes you laugh and makes you think.You'll never look at a store worker the same way again. It's a short film, long on wit and imagination.

I dont really know what to think about this short. Its a student in art who studying the female beauty and the relation of time. Pretty. Interesting anyway but it was too short in my opinion. It contains some nudity because the student is interested by feminity. I enjoyed it anyway but too short in my opinion.

It's quite engaging to watch. quite funny. love story plot is cliche. overall a good movie.
