This is the first time I have ever been compelled to give a 10 star rating to ANY film on IMDb, much less an indie short film.
"Fragile Storm" starts out as a mystery, with a older man seemingly keeping a younger woman bound in captivity. I don't want to give away any plot points, for that would ruin it, so all I will say is that, from there, director Dawn Fields weaves a tale of love, loss and compassion that leaves me tearing and breathless every time I watch it.
Everything about this film is incredible. The acting is top notch, with great performances from well known actor Lance Henriksen, as well as from Jody Jaress and Mackenzie Mason. It's clear that all three gave their hearts and souls to their performances.
The writing and directing are crisp and direct and tell a a complete, heartbreaking story in only 9 minutes.
With all of that said, I sincerely hope no one thinks that I am engaging in hyperbole or that I am over-hyping this film. I truly feel that it is that great of a film and, not only that, it's a movie with a strong message, which becomes clear once you watch it.
Give this film 9 minutes of your time. You won't be sorry.
