Ultra-Girl

A severely down on his luck comic book writer is visited by the superhero he created, and in the depths of his despair she helps him to regain some of the inner strength and joy that he's lost in his life and realise that even though things don't always work out like you'd want them to life's not so bad after all, and you have to remember what you do have sometimes. Chris Notarile is truly one of the most gifted short film directors working today, and I've found everything that he's made to have a professional level of quality and it never feels like he's just phoning it in, there's a sincerity to all of his work, and I loved this surprisingly adult and emotionally deep superhero-themed short which featured an all original creation and I found it a very moving and uplifting little story, I find the notion of something you made in better days coming back to help you in your hour of need and giving you hope to be representative of the very virtue of a hero. Great acting from both Roberto Lombardi and Lindsey Bean, he really played it convincingly as a man sliding into dark depression and not giving a damn about anyone but himself, and she was so warm and kind, she delivered her special message to him very beautifully, it was a very moving dramatic moment and I loved and got it, very well done. Loved it, beautiful short, got so much more out of it than I did the awful Captain Marvel! X
