Epiphany

It's hard to believe that this film stars and was directed by a 14-year-old! I was moved the two times I saw it during Frameline28. (The short was in two different programs.) The director was clever in using simple imagery to convey his story. The images are strong and the emotions felt very real. There was no excessive dialog. It shows just what teenagers can do if given the proper tools. Wow! (This is the first movie or short film, that I have seen, that was Presented by a Middle School.) I wish we lived in a world where no child (or adult, for that matter) ever has to contemplate what the protagonist does in this movie.
