Actor:eal (2024)

Sometimes, less is more

... and this short film is a prime example.
You don't need much if all people involved know which story they want to tell and have the ability to craft a good screenplay and to execute well it with everything they have.

In less than ten minutes, we see a love story from the first shy glance -- Is this feeling real? -- to an answering touch -- Is what I see real? -- until we know: Yes, it is.
The intertwining of fiction / acting and reality / genuine attraction in this short underline this uncertainty we feel when we make our first steps towards the possibility of a relationship, and even moreso for two people of the same gender.

Both actors, the director and the person behind the camera very obviously know what they are doing, they use their limited resources ingeniously, and manage to quickly connect audience and characters, build up a good amount of tension, and resolve it with great satisfaction.
