A beautiful example of what can be done with a visual approach to short-form.

It's a hard one to track down... but if you have a chance, definitely check it out. It's one of the most accomplished shorts I've seen.

The story is about a young boy being chased into a local industrial wasteland. He happens upon an unlikely protector and benefactor. It's a moody piece beset w/ a kind of magical realism, but it's not heavy-handed...

The piece is shot in B&W, and brilliantly lit & textured. The sound design is exceptional, and works to underscore the storyline.
