Traffic Warden

A simple plot, words gone, this film proves why short films a still the best and most complete art form. Well, at least it's been a while since I've seen a short film. Tennant and Hunter portray love at first sight wonderfully. The director proves that this simple plot is such a universal, if not dreamy, understanding amongst everyone, no matter who they are. Words then become useless, and any little push the audience needs in the right direction is shown written, on signs along the way. Maybe they were going for a destiny thing, I can only guess. Still, people like twists on old favorites, and that is what makes this film so charming. I myself am a victim of THAT need for love/escapism/happy endings. I'm sure you are too.

There is nothing like a good short film.

This one contains almost no dialogue, but is clever, touching, and funny. The acting is very good, especially considering the constraints of time and scope.

David Tennant especially shines as the Traffic Warden who might make you think twice about saying mean things next time you get a parking ticket.

The music, setting, and characters unite to create a piece of art that is harmonious and a treat for the eyes and ears. Extra little touches add a layer of clever creativity that elevates it from good to great.

I highly recommend this short. It is one of the best I have ever seen.
