Ben Briand was an unknown director to me before I watched this short film. The moment I finished watching this artwork he quickly became my favorite director of all time, causing the audience to be dropped into a scene and cause them to have less of a passive experience whilst watching the film.
Apricot is most certainly (in my opinion) the best film he has made, if not the best short film I have ever seen. I have watched almost all of Future shorts (a company which holds a large collection of short films) videos and have always found that this piece sticks out to me.
Cinematography which immerses the viewer to an extent of bringing up deep memories, a soundtrack (by Basil Hogios) which makes you feel warm inside and a story line that is simply beautiful. I give Apricot 100% of my support to this incredible film.
