I'm finding a renewed interest in shorts. It's a unique talent to convey so much emotion in so little of time. This film was no exception.
The concerto is explained to be a conversation between the instruments, and this film is a conversation between a grandson and his grandfather. It's a quick, "Am I supposed to be here?" discussion, with both sides explaining where they are and how they got there.
I wasn't a fan of the camera shots in this, as the conversation is between the two men, not the viewer and one of them. By focusing directly on their faces, and having them look directly at the camera, it loses that piece of the conversation.
The music is lovely, and I'll be looking up more from Kris Bowers. Thanks to both for taking a bit of your time to tell your stories. We need to continue hearing them.
