a5c7b9f00b An impulsive act by a group of thrill-seeking teenagers sets in motion a chain of events that will change many lives. Michael is having a bad day. Intense, impatient, self-absorbed, he crosses paths with several people in one 24-hour period who will change his life. Through the actions of these people, some of whom he will never meet, he receives many lessons in perspectives, perception, compassion, trust....and in the end, given the opportunity to forgive. I wish there were more movies like this. It's engaging. From the beginning, it's impossible to turn away from the story--how it unfolds, then folds up neatly again. At first, as characters are introduced, their stories seem completely separate. Most of these characters are strangers to each other, yet their lives become entwined in a way that is extraordinary and feasible at the same time. All of the actors turn in stellar performances--the young man's self-centered intensity, his girl-friend's patient optimism. One performance of special note is the female exec. She's vulnerable, she's strong. She's pretty amazing. Finally, the screenplay is beautifully written. It's neat and well-planned. There are no loose ends at the conclusion. There's suspense, romance, action--this movie has it all. I've seen a lot of short films, and, often, the end credits are rolling before I feel like the film is "finished" and I leave with unanswered questions. Not the case with this gem! From beginning to end, this gripping short demands your attention and stays with you long after the credits roll. What writer and director Melanie Star Scot has managed to pack into 23 minutes is incredible... a feat of true talent! This short feels like a feature length film, complete with a powerful message, a great score, a talented cast, an engaging script... This journey that we embark on with a little red sports car is a journey like no other! Hats off to you, Melanie!
