Considering I have seen and reviewed perhaps as many as a thousand short films, the fact that this film was unlike all the others was a very welcome relief. And, fortunately, it was also cute to watch--with a clever story that really made me smile.
The film begins with a guy in the shower (Stephan Weyte) who is supposed to be Steven Spielberg. While the guy didn't seem all that "Spielbergian", he did do a fine job playing the mega-producer. However, what happened next took my by surprise. Needing an idea for a new project, "Spielberg" consults his magic mirror (Jessi Badami--who also produced this film)! Hearing their dialog and now finally understanding where the man gets all his great ideas was pretty funny.
While this is obviously a small-time film made by struggling film makers, it did bode well for the futures of these actors and director. The film was engaging and caught my eye--let's hope it catches the eye of a player....like Spielberg!
