Piece of Art

Excellent interpretation and direction. Love the concept and visualization the director brings to the short film. I especially love the girl being followed, and the subtle and yet so natural acting she presents in the film. It is so wonderful to see a modern black and white film. We have lost sight recently to true film making but with more projects like this we can see there may still be hope in this industry for quality films. I enjoy that this is a short, and a well filmed one at that. The short film side of the entertainment world is a treasure and hidden gem and Veer! brings light to the short films and allows us to enjoy a simple film that still evokes provocative thought.
