Lonesome Bridge

A nice small film that manages to avoid being a stereotypical "gay boy loves straight boy" story, and with a very interesting (and earned) twist at the end. Proof that simple stories with real characters work well, no matter the length.

The performances, camera-work and editing are above average, and unlike many low-budget short films, the music is nicely integrated into the story. Expect more from lead actress Aimee St. Pierre -- she exhibits a sweetness with an edge here reminiscent of Alyson Hannigan; and definitely expect more from producer/director/writer Brian Rowe. If he can do this in twelve minutes, I'd love to see what he can do with a feature.

I liked the plot. I could see the situation happening in a dorm. But the acting was a bit uneven.

This short film presents a interesting story how about a gay guy and his homophobic sweet mate. The plot twist at the end was quite satisfying to me. However, I had to endure the crunchy dialog and performances that were of porno movie caliber.
