Skeletons

You would never on a rainy day expect to see someone of the past back in your life not even in your house. You may think you have forgotten but there it is knocking on your door once again reminding you what could be or what's left of it....

This short film is defenetly a must watch. Powerful and breathtaking. The lightning and color design creates an atmosphere like no other. Is the perfect mood for this two characters so well played by non other than Tommy and Robin.

Script wise also is impressive and every bit of it makes a huge impact that not only makes you think but see how this goes between them bit by bit. The more you invest yourself in the story the more you realize how deep it is.

Music score also is beautiful. It helps too with the setting. Set design also is great. All of it if I'm honest.

Adam as a director really did a massive yet incredible and stunning job. Putting all this together...masterpiece.

Hope more festivals check this out and support it. Fantastic and captivating. Bravo for real.

Brilliant and emotional film. The performance of the two fabulous and intimate actors in an environment created for them. The unexpected ending. In short, a film that will captivate you from the first moment. I saw it from the online platform and the only thing missing... were some subtitles so I wouldn't miss anything from the script. I hope to see it one day on the big screen.

"Skeletons" may be a short, but it is packed full of emotion.

The unexpected arrival of an ex has two men confronting past mistakes and guilt, and wondering if forgiveness can ever be possible. Every emotion is palpable thanks to the powerful performances from both actors, and the dramatic lighting adds to the sense of long held pain finally being exposed and faced after years of lurking in the shadows of both men's lives.

The most striking thing is how real it feels, from the relationship between David and Christopher to how our actions and the choices we make can affect both our own lives and those of the people we love, how everyone finds their own way to deal with life's obstacles, and how feelings - both good and bad - can be difficult to forget.

A stunning and poignant film from a small but talented team.

Beautiful film from start to end. So much emotion in a short time but it had me so invested. The acting was exquisite. The lighting and music captured the emotion perfectly. And a surprise ending. Loved it.

This film certainly has an intensity to it. "Christopher" (Robin Lord Taylor) finds himself revisiting long-lost pains and anguish when he is faced with a meeting, out of the blue, with his ex-boyfriend "David" (Tom Downing). We are but flies on the wall as the couple try to reconcile not just with each other, but with the guilt both feel about their failed relationship and with the responsibilities for that failure. What is especially effective is the relentless rain pounding the window panes as the two men try to deal with their demons. On that latter front, detail is provided to us rather sparingly. We don't know what went wrong, who might have been to blame - cheating, grown apart? Nor are we expecting to find out. This is a short and effective observational drama that packs quite a lot into twenty minutes and is well worth a watch.
