I saw this short at MIFF on the weekend where it screened as part of the Accelerator program and have been thinking about it since. It's excellent; a very simple premise that unfurls super fast into a really quite frightening, gripping drama. All of the performances are incredibly well judged, as is the cinematography (from one-to-watch, the amazing Hugh Miller - SOLO; THE BET).
I just want to know, who the HELL is Ben Phelps and where did he come from? The whole piece hinges on the writing, which is watertight and fantastic. It is a short that packs a punch.
5 stars from me... can't wait to see what he does next!!
