One of Us is one of the best short films I've seen in quite a while. David Zimmerman's flawless performance as Loki, a guy caught in the middle and in over his head, is completely convincing -- funny yet tragic. The small cast is built with good supporting characters, such as Loki's friend Kathy, played brilliantly by Britt Erickson, and Nick, played perfectly by Rick Fitzgerald. The short story like plot written and directed by John Lighten works very well here and is worth the view, and the surprise ending is great. One of Us is reminiscent of an early television play -- when television was actually good and well crafted. Short but fulfilling, One of Us captures real life in a fantasy situation, or possibly the other way around.
