Viewing Notes
Since the Glasgow Film Festival had to cancel due to the coronavirus they posted a few short films on their website that previously screened at their festival. This is one of them. I was drawn to it based on the description (not the one on TMDb) and that it was set in Cambodia.
This is a gorgeously shot short film with a very sweet moment in the lives of these young people. It really feels like it could be a prelude to a feature film about an impending end of the world scenario. Like, here’s these young people just doing their thing when suddenly aliens attack or something. It’s really cool and I bet this would look incredible on the big screen w/those colors.
