The Birds Upstairs

Wow. I'm here to pay my homage to the author of this incredibly well-done short.

The scenes and colors are fantastic. The heavy dramatic feeling is sometimes unbearable, but at the same time, it's a great enjoyable tale.

How couldn't more people know this short? That's a shame really.

The atmosphere. The voice of narrator. The symbols. The story. And the visuals. A film for reflection about family, happiness, solitude in two and charming animation. Many reasons for define it as special. Or, just a sort of revelation about the pulse of an universe prisoner of itself.

I caught this film at the zero fest a couple weeks ago and let me just say: it totally blew me away.

The first thing everyone first notices are the visuals, which are incredible. The sets especially were to die for (lol) and must have cost a small fortune. But what really impressed me was the writing of it, very clever and poignant. And the symbolic use of birds..... It was heavy but not enough to drag you down, or very long for that matter. Plus there were some points of relief I even laughed out loud a couple times at some of the interactions with the "kid", (I won't say more than that).

I'll be on the look out for features from this kid.
