The Hunter and the Swan takes the world of storybook fantasy into the here and now. Think Gabriel Garcia Marquez meets Joss Whedon: The characters have magical experiences but their problems are universal.
The story centers around a dinner conversation between two couples. One couple is "ordinary"; the other have a magical history that parallels the famous story of the Swan Maidens. Over the course of a dinner it becomes clear where the real magic lies.
I love the writing. The actor direction is excellent. Much is said with pregnant glances instead of words.
If I have one criticism it is that the shot of a Brooklyn street corner at the end of the film is a bit obvious for an indie production. But that's a small blemish on an otherwise very clean shoot.
The film is short and well worth a watch. As of right now it even seems to be free on YouTube.
