HALF EMPTY
The stress that permeates our life is by our own design.
I love when a short like this comes around. It’s not one that will make the rounds at the major festivals, but it’s one that the more it sits with you the better it gets. Your first watch won’t be the best. You’ll be a bit confused, a bit agitated. But then you sit with it. And can’t stop thinking about it. You see it in your day. You see it on your phone. It is your life.
The ending is bold, brave, but ultimately sends it home. A graphic from an iPhone app produced by JJ Abrams for those to be sheep and mass produce the same movie over and over. It’s the type of meta storytelling that you’d see from only the most auteur filmmakers.
