Synopsis
Liz is asleep when a whole bunch of text messages come in, waking her up. Everyone is saying “It’s amazing!” and “Don’t look—they’re all going crazy!” Then there’s a Presidential Alert—DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON! There’s a warning on the TV. She looks for husband Rod, who isn’t in bed where he should be.
What is going on?
Commentary
Well, that was intense!
I really like the lighting in this one—everything is lit by moonlight and is a dark blue. The music is really good as well—very ominous and several steps above the vast majority of indie short films. The special effects with Rod are maybe a little bit much, but they get the point across.
You have to wonder what the next step is for the people of Earth. We don’t get any real explanation for any of this, but it’s so well done that it’s completely forgivable.
Nice!
