What a cool film. The writer/director, Charles Torrens, has posted it on Vimeo (#59773155). Torrens is also the director of "Apartment 143."

Billy, a regular guy, awakens in a regular way on a regular morning to find his girlfriend horrified of him. He has no idea why. And then his day just keeps getting weirder. As he soon finds out, all he knows is, "You're It."

What a cool concept. This is a tightly written short story, piquing the viewer's interest from the beginning and building the suspense as the viewer shares Billy's confusion. And the payoff at the end is pretty good. The concept is probably insufficient to support a feature length movie, so the story works well as a short film. The production values are great, with perfectly good cinematography, sound, and editing, plus some pretty good special effects.

Check this out, it's worth your while.

I saw this movie at the 'Shnit!' short film Festival in Bern, Switzerland. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. The beginning is relatively slow-paced, and as the viewer is trying to figure out where this strange tale might be going, the tone of the movie shifts. What follows is a suspenseful, fun-to-watch action scene, that still doesn't reveal the Punch line of the story. Before the punch line, the movie suddenly takes a violent and bloody turn. The Punch line? See for yourself. But I will say this much: The production values of this film are on par with 100mil Action Blockbusters. Pictures, sound, editing, WOW! And the story is just awesome. What a clever (funny and weird) idea!

The movie might not be for everybody because of the very graphic violence (for about one minute of the film). But for the rest?

Go watch it! You're missing out if you don't.
