Manhattan Short selection

I chuckled multiple times while watching this Scottish film short. The lead character, Don, is taciturn and reclusive, and his unintentionally rude way of responding to everyone that tries to help him is very amusing. The visuals are also great, with lots of chunky knit sweaters and stunning highland scenery. Who doesn't love a Scottish accent?

My favorite scene is Don trying to cut an onion with one hand. Such a simple concept, but it is highly entertaining.

Dramatic music adds to the overall feel of the flick.

I enjoyed watching the 2022 Manhattan short film festival at my local library and this is one of the selections.
