Where exactly do short films make money? I dunno... We covered them in class today though. It got me thinking of my favourite short film... Consent. (watch it before you continue)
How far does the rabbit hole go?
Despite the bad joke, I feel that this little piece can demonstrate easily what Steven (our instructor) was getting at. One clear problem, the mastery of a plot is pretty simple here and the 'timelock' drama producer is brought in by the lawyers. Add some hilarious tongue-in-cheek writing as well as a zinger of a twist ending and you got yourself a well paced great short film. Consent also manages to go beyond the six minutes of viewing time and enter into the viewer's imagination. When watching this with a group the amount of potential conversation can lead people into all sorts of interesting places.
Note: for those of you against this sort of 'crass' material you can leave a comment as to why it's inappropriate. Just remember, 50 Shades of Grey exists and I've seen people reading it in Public. Our society has gone beyond being shy and private about sex. DEAL WITH IT.
