"Short for Nothing" is a charming little indie gem. Beautifully shot in Toronto, it follows three women working in the restaurant industry while pursuing their respective artistic dreams. The struggle with whether or not to take the big "leap of faith" in pursuit of one's dreams when opportunity presents is a theme with which I think many viewers will empathize.
Overall there is a sense of realism to this film that just feels honest and true. The combination of the themes, the imagery, the understated humour, and well written dialogue along with the original musical soundtrack make for a very enjoyable film.
