    For a first-time filmmaker, David Labrecque brings an artistically humanistic experience to indie filmmaking

    "For a first-time filmmaker, David Labrecque brings an artistically humanistic experience to indie filmmaking."

    Our best Short Film selection this month (April 2017) is 'A Matter of Taste', a clever story about a French librarian and writer whose own aesthetics become questioned by modern standards. Louis, becoming inspired by his Grandfather's sense of duty, decides to write a story about him and the city of Quebec. Labrecque, the director seems to be transferring his own love of the city into Louis's construct, lending the main character a touch of romanticism.

    We open as Louis begins to write the homage to his grandfather, a WWII veteran, segueing into a smooth cut to the book store. The writer adds an almost a cynical touch by having a random customer ask the clerk for a book about meatballs, which sets up the entire storyline.

    Our random customer happens to stroll by Louis's book signing table, not easily slipping past his sales pitch. And in the process, our poor writer gets upstaged by the clerk as she locates one of the last editions of "The Ultimate Guide to Meatballs". The perspective customer then courteously offers some complimentary small-talk and politely retreats with his new found treasure.

    On his way home, in a beautifully quaint scene, Louis passes one of those little free library boxes that have become all the rage lately. A great reference and a nice contemporary touch with the location search and art direction. I loved how he passes by, making you wait for the satisfaction of him coming back to it. And the plot thickens…

    We move to dinner among friends where Louis and his loving girlfriend are served meatballs for dinner! As artists, I'm sure many of us have had experiences with similarly cruel ironies. The film develops into a fine resolution with humor and wit along the way. The cast is natural and unpretentious, building a pleasing narrative that is very easy and comfortable to follow. For a first time filmmaker, David Labrecque brings a well crafted and an artistically humanistic experience to indie filmmaking.
