Impressive early work

I could not believe that someone put something like this together when he was just 17. It is great short movie more than delivering on feelings, hopes, dreams, struggles and rebellions of being a teen. I loved how the whole story is encapsulated and I admired how just simple script, work with camera and great acting tell the viewer much more than many long movies with lot of talking. Great work!

bitter realistic

Many teenagers are reflected by story. And this is the basic motif for appreciate the film . For story, cinematography and build of tension. For portrait of two friends and their parents. For the symbol of bridge. For a decision who remains a precious memory of many people And for the precise, direct meaning of liberty. The artfull composition, the performances, the soundtrack, the feel to see something more than familiar are pillars of this splendid - bitter "Escapade".

Life is like jumping off a bridge...

This short film more than delivers on inspiration. The short captures the hard-hitting realism of teen rebellion vs mundane home life. It also brings to light how two seemingly similar neighbouring houses are very different homes. Both Thijmen and Robin yearn for freedom and autonomy. Thijmen from his overprotective parents (or are they? under the circumstances I would tend to agree with them) and Robin's abusive uncaring father). The short truly encapsulates all it means to be a teen. It is gripping right from the very start - the scene on the bridge. It is all very real and honest with artful composition and a very raw script. Incredibly tactile visuals and sounds (especially the bridge scenes and the partying scenes). Pervasive filming and the construction and placement of shots is excellent. #justjump
