In London we’ve had a spate of warm weather which has been lovely. And in honour of that, I present two very short films that you can enjoy in less than 10 mins so you can maximise your time outside in the sun. But this week’s choices are not just about getting precious vitamin D, they’re to show the very humble beginnings of two very accomplished filmmakers. What’s also really interesting is that compared to many modern short films these are simple single idea ‘moment’ shorts. A lot of short films these days are like micro masterpieces, impeccably made and involved, almost too accomplished, as if they were the work of a established director going back to flex their muscles. In contrast it’s interesting to see such simple ideas conveyed with what I imagine are limited resources. Similar to an earlier newsletter’s subject we can see here, in about 3 minutes and 6 minutes respectively, many of the filmmaker’s hallmarks. Which is kind of incredible - it shows that there’s something inherent - whenever they turn their hand to making any kind of film their fingerprints
