Divertimento

An impressive short like you've probably never seen. Kellan Lutz teams up with Torrey DeVitto in a mysterious, dangerous game, and faces some tenacious competitors. But this game is much more than what it seems, hiding several secrets... as the narrator announces it at the beginning, in a very cold way.

The story is very ambitious, dealing with several topics and timelines (not only time but also reality) in a short time, which all make one single huge story. It's beautifully made, with a beautiful game of lights, and great music. There are film noir vibes in the castle which makes it stunning.

A must-watch short with a big production scale -- there is a thrilling central fight/shootout corridor scene, with two different connected timelines impactful to each other. This single scene alone is really crazy! The film can make you "remember" a Hitchcock film tone and more recently Fincher or Nolan.

Don't miss this classy, smart psychological thriller. From the casting (Kellan Lutz, Brittany Gonzalas, Gotz Otto) to the gorgeous set to the unique mysterious plot-this is a fantastic short from Keyvan Sheik. I was thrilled to interview him for the Black Hills Film Festival. His eye and discernment are marking him for major success in directing.

I love it ! Really, it's just amazing, the lights, the images, the links that are made, I mean everything is just perfect! I highly recommend it, the story is really great and well thought. I'm just shocked by the quality of the images, there is a real light game and I find it very very well achieved. I love it!

I loved the film Divertimento ! This short film is so visually amazing, the suspense was present from the beginning to the end...

At the end, it feels like an immersive and great experience with the contrast between light and dark, the high quality of the images, the musics, the all story and also the global atmosphere !

The places chosen for the film are so beautiful and magic... Also, the characters are deep and fascinating with a lot of complexity in there psychology...

I highly recommend to see this short film, especially for the the high sens of details in every aspect and in each scene.

It was an honor to screen this amazing film at the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival. Director / writer Keyvan Sheikhalishahi is extremely talented and I'm positive we will see many more wonderful projects from him! If you get a chance to watch this short film, be sure you do! You won't be disappointed.
