This is a remarkable short film that has echoes of the silent era. I was really moved by the performances (the young girl, Natasha Watson in particular delivers a performance of amazing maturity), they have a real simplicity and are genuinely emotive. The overall look of the film is remarkable, the stark, haunting beach setting compliments the mood and tone of the story terrifically. The director, Simon Dennis has managed to create a sense of wonderment and mystery whilst carrying a natural humour that leads the viewer into the story. It ticks all the boxes for what should be achievable in a short film and I am sure that the film maker will be seen soon directing features if the strength and beauty of this piece is anything to go by. This is definitely a director who I will be keeping my eye on.
