An intense look at a man who seems to be trapped in someone else's body, his attempt to discover whose body he seems to be in, and how this all happened. It's very exciting, as he tries to figure out what is going on, and ultimately makes one think a bit about what identity means, and how one might deal with a similarly inexplicable episode in one's own life. It's short enough to really keep the pace consistently, and the ending is terrific. The visual effects are quite engaging, like a great scene as he look in the mirror and sees who it is everyone else seems to be seeing. I don't know how to find this film (I saw it in the Minnesota Shorts Showcase at the Minneapolis Film Festival) but if you get the chance I highly recommend it.

Where's Eva Marie Saint When You Really Need Her?
cutterccbaxter28 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
What would you do if you lost your identity? Like a lot of movie characters in the midst of a crisis, Kerst goes into the nearest bathroom and splashes water on his face and then breaks the mirror with his fist. Kerst proceeds to dash home where he freaks out his next door neighbor and then his wife. They don't seem to recognize the poor chap. He maybe should have phoned his wife and warned her. Hopefully after the ending of this short film he runs to the local video store and rents North By Northwest. Either that, or he should sign up for a local 5K because he is in pretty good shape with all the running he has been doing. The trailer to Kerst is almost as long as the movie itself.
