Michael Half-Life (2014)
A great heart warming story where fantasy inspires real courage - 15 years in the making!
I don't always enjoy films that are made for non commercial screenings, and most if not nearly all short films are made with this purpose. However, I found Michael Half-Life to be a refreshing gem in the thousands of short films made for festivals every year. One really awesome thing about this movie is that it was made in the span of 15 years on various different mediums, giving it a very authentic feel as the arc of the characters spans years of their lives. The fantasy aspect was really nicely done, and the director took his time creating some very cool retro sci-fi sequences. The charm of the story is that we can all relate to it. We have all had dreams of being super heroes, standing up for what is right; and more often than we realize, our every day lives provide the opportunity to be just that for the people we love. Hope to see more from David Maddox in the future.
