    8/10
    A tight little fairy tale...
    ...centered on the age-old warning about being careful what you wish for, "Zelos" remains a potent calling card for a hopefully rising young female director and a slew of other young talents as well. Squeezing every penny out of a slim budget, this short piece explores a number of downsides to having a doppelganger at your bidding. The film's ending leaves things unresolved, as if promising a full-length feature in the offing, but even without, it's a nice piece of work. Absolutely worth a watch, it's easily available on a variety of platforms, including YouTube.
