I would keep Hunting them Down ...
short of the day 002
as They Continue to Fall
duration: 6 min 27 sec, released: October 19th, 2016
What?
A really well done, professional short about an aging drifter hunts fallen angels in a desolate city.
Who?
By the director, Nikhil Bhagat, off of the script of one of the screenwriter of Doctor Strange, C. Robert Cargill.
How?
The director try to adapt the amazing script by Cargill using Kickstarter's contributors' time and money to shoot the short while using reddit community's feedback during the test screening.
Why?
"This is basically a proof of concept/tiny sliver of a bigger story," director stated on Youtube.
Then?
It's too bad that they had to remove the full free video from the internet when it was circulated heavily last week but it is understandable since they had to protect their works.
Maybe this was an effort too little to late since the viewers who hasn't seen it couldn't watch it in its full glory (I have it but can't upload it in fear of being taken down), but it is still too great of a short to not being highlighted again and again.
+ Positive +
with just under $7,000 budget off Kickstarter, it has professionally shot cinematography, fitting soundtrack to accompany the moody atmosphere, and impressive visuals especially the 'angels.'
? Main contention ?
The concept of 'fallen angels' and how a gifted kid grew up to hunt them down would be a great throughline of a movie ... with the proof of concept short already looks like one, it's perfect!
- Negative -
Not much of a story to go with but told visually without much exposition.
