Wait For Me

Wait For Me (3 Minute Documentary) from Red Light Films on Vimeo.

Spare three minutes of your life to watch this short documentary about the power of a mother's love. I simply can't describe how much this little film touched my heart. Wait For Me is very powerful and deeply honest.

Director Ross Kauffman released this statement his experience making this film:

Peg’s combination of beauty, sadness and hope immediately drew me back in. We sat down by the pool and talked for hours on end about John, her family, and her dream to one day see her missing son again.

Kauffman also revealed that this short film is in production to become a feature-length documentary. I will reveal any news as it comes to hand. Enjoy this inspiring story.

In The Loop

IN THE LOOP - UK trailer from PPC Film on Vimeo.

This review is "difficult, difficult, lemon, difficult", because In The Loop simply isn't going to please everyone, but personally, I really enjoyed it and laughed out loud for the best part of the hour and a half. If you are a fan of quick, witty British humour, then this film will not disappoint. With rave reviews in England, In The Loop is fast-paced, political comedy with an abundance of smart and cheeky dialogue which you will find yourself giggling about well after the closing credits.

The plot is about a government Minister who is a nervous public speaker. Already a terrible trait which welcomes one disastrous public event after the other. Enter the team of media monitors who are trying to save his reputation, or, at least save themselves and leave him to be eaten by the Americans. In The Loop is a political satire, poking its tongue out at British and American politicians alike.

But be warned: it is heavy with dialogue with little extravaganza. So if you prefer Hollywood blockbusters with a bit of glamour and action, then this film isn't for you. But if you're a fan of witty dialogue, clever characters and British humour, then I highly recommend In The Loop.

(500) Days of Summer

500 Days of Summer International Trailer from Rosie de Belgeonne on Vimeo.

My favourite film of the year! This romantic comedy has it all without any Hollywood cliches to be found, perfectly defying all genre conventions yet still captivating. This is not a love story, but a story of modern romance: the courtship of Gen Y's. Words like 'commitment', 'love', 'divorce' are feared by Gen Y and this romantic confusion is explored beautifully in this sweet, quirky film.

My hat goes off to Joseph Gordon Levitt for his heart-warming performance. Hasn't he grown up since 3rd Rock From The Sun? Zooey Deschanel is equally adorable and delivers a lovely performance, with style.

Watch this film for the soundtrack alone. It perfectly compliments the narrative and pace, whilst keeping this non-love story upbeat and fun. With its un-conventional ending, the soundtrack works brilliantly to transform it into a happy one.

The directors style is fresh and absorbing, with an array of visual delicacies but I won't spoil them here. I loved this film so much and think all other Gen Y's will adore it as well. See it for yourself!
