As a teacher and occasional critic, I probably watch three hundred shorts a year. THUNDERBIRD is a knockout-- a fully imagined, beautifully realized fable. Visually the movie is far better than many feature-length Hollywood blockbusters. I don't know how the director managed to grant his low-budget work such impressive production value, but the cinematography, editing, and set design are all first-rate. Each shot was slaved over, and the resulting composition pays tribute to all that time and effort.
Gary Castillo delivers a charming performance, leavening despair with humor.
Eschewing the current fad for music video-style frantic editing, the creators of THUNDERBIRD favor a quiet, stately pace, an elegant cadence. Though shorter than fifteen minutes, the movie has the feel of an epic, and I look forward to watching whatever these boys put together next. You just know they're aiming big.
