Boy Meets Boy (2015)
10/10
Thought provoking short film
25 April 2015
One of the many challenges in writing a script for a short movie is to ensure that we the audience can empathise with the characters within the first minute or so. The characters must be memorable with strong personalities. In Boy Meets Boy, you immediately get the main character Vincent - beautifully portrayed by Mike Azevedo - solitary but looking for love. Mysterious dark Steven - played by sexy Charles Zuchermann - will turn Vincent's perfect live upside down.

The script is very tight with economical dialogue and the director, Jonathan MacPherson, delivers an extremely atmospheric film; the cinematography is beautiful, almost shot in monochrome with crucial splashes of red, emphasising passion and fear.

Successive emotions carry you through the film ... fear, passion, suspense and terror to name a few; a kind of raw emotional journey.

Boy Meet Boy is a beautiful powerful honest movie showcasing the skills and talent of a great ensemble. I want to see the feature length movie they will no doubt be making one day.
