While driving, a man talks on his cellphone, unaware of what's going on to the left of him.
The Short Of The Week website analysis states there&#39;s a danger of Matthew Nayman&#39;s short film being both one note and mediocre but Nayman manages to pull it off . I agree though there&#39;s no escaping from the fact it&#39;s very much one note and a one trick pony but while you&#39;re watching it you do wonder how quickly other people came to understand what was happening at the mis-en-scene <br/><br/>Some people might claim &quot; if that was me I would have known what was happening right away &quot; but would you ? Go on youtube and look at the live news broadcasts of 9/11 as the second plane crashed in to the South Tower of the WTC . It&#39;s surprising how many of the commentators don&#39;t notice the second plane come in to frame and hit the second tower and thought the resulting explosion was coming from the North Tower . On a similar you might have done a quick observation test where you&#39;re asked to study a still photo of busy city centre street . You&#39;re asked what you noticed about the still &quot; Perhaps you noticed , the street lamps , or the cars in the foreground or the blonde woman walking nearest to camera . But did you notice the spaceship in the sky at the top right hand corner ? &quot; and you&#39;re left kicking yourself for not noticing something so obvious , so yes the scenario here is very credible and well done for making it on a budget of $2,000 . That said anyone who&#39;s driving a car making a plane reservation on a mobile phone dserves summary execution
When I saw this film at the 2012 Boston Science Fiction Film Festival, it stood out from the crowd. Its a delightfully executed story of a guy stuck in traffic, having his own personal customer-service-from-Hell experience while on his cell phone. As the story progresses, his internal focus on his problems becomes increasingly humorous as the magnitude of events outside his car become evident. <br/><br/>The film begins without title or credits, which was an immense bonus for me since I did not know the title when I saw it. Given the final moments of the film -- which I will not reveal here -- putting the title at the end was a stroke of brilliance. I split a gut laughing: it was SO apropos. <br/><br/>Obviously, anyone reading this review DOES know the title of the film, but if by chance you are a festival organizer planning on showing this film, DO NOT reveal the title beforehand; it&#39;ll make the experience that much more fun. And for those of you who DO know the title but have yet to see the movie, don&#39;t worry: it&#39;ll still be a funny and entertaining ride. <br/><br/>Kudos to Brandon Brackenbury for a fine single-shot performance.
