Caught this short film at the Beverly Hills Film Festival. It definitely stood out as one of the best short films of the festival. The opening is deceptively slow but pulls you in to an incredibly moving story about one mans return to the emotions of humanity.
I was close to tears watching this film and give it high scores on sound, picture, story, dialog and acting. Get a hold of the DVD if you can. It is worth watching. Director Bill Purple is off the ground for a great directing career. I am keen on coming back to the Beverly Hills Film Festival next year if they can showcase films of this quality.
Forgot to mention that the cast of this film is incredible including Jessica Biel, Gary Marshall, Jason Clarke and Stephen Collins. Jason Clarke plays the lead: Ferp. Ferp is a genius mathematics student who is antisocial and prefers to stay in higher education programs rather than deal with the real world. A dog caught up in a ruthless laboratory test setting makes Ferp reconnect with his emotions and humanity.
