2018 Short Film: The Cost of Living

What Happens

Tess closes the door in Graham, the landlord’s face. They can’t afford the place since her boyfriend lost his job. He points out that at least Graham hasn’t raised their rent, so he’s not such a bad guy. Graham, however, waits outside for Tess to leave the apartment. Maybe he’s not such a good guy…

Commentary

Oh. I did not see that coming– but I guess Tess did!  

How far would you go to pay the rent?

It’s short, it’s very clear what’s going on, and it’s all very well done.  I liked it!
