"Wastelands" is a Dutch 13-minute live action short film from 2013, so this one is fairly new still. The writer and director is Marco van Bergen and here he tells us the story of a lonely teenager who develops a crush on a cool guy and thinks the two may actually become a couple. But is this really going to happen? Watch for yourself. Or don't. Because this film has some of the usual struggles that many gay-themed short films have these days. The script is not even the biggest problem here and it#s really not good either. But the actors are even worse and I cannot see a bright future for them in the industry unless they really improve. Good thing is that you don't need subtitles as the dialogues in Dutch are almost non-existent in this short film. But so is the quality. Thumbs down from me. Not recommended.
