As the Executive Director of the Geneva Film Festival, I recently had the privilege to screen "Bright" at this year's event. Not only was it an audience favorite, "Bright" won the award for Best Narrative Short Film.
Hypnotic and beautiful to watch, "Bright" is a masterfully crafted film. The writing is thoughtful and intelligent. Refusing to take the viewer by the hand to spell out important plot points, it cleverly threads them throughout the script at a pace that never feels forced. The performances ring honest and true, especially those by Robert Wisdom and Eric Nenninger. They captivate us with subtle, yet poignant portrayals of men with a deep and complex history. The result is an emotional journey leaving us wanting to know more.
Writer/Director Benjamin Busch has put together a brilliant, albeit short, cinematic gem: A gem worthy of seeking out and experiencing for oneself.
