WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN? (2024) Film Short Review – Hint: This Meticulous, Sublime 24-Minute Short Can Whisk Your Breath Away, It’s That Good

This film will captivate audiences with its incredible emotional depth and compelling narrative. Hint: 7,997 views were registered July 1 on the YouTube trailer site. The meat of the story are the polygraph scenes of the two men dueling and dealing with five questions put them: And they better not lie or there goes the inheritance. Inheritance?

FISHTANK Film Review

Director Wendi Tang’s FISHTANK: Winner of the 8th Tribeca x Chanel Through Her Lens Program. Winner of the 2022 Film Pipeline Short Script Competition. Audiences should be prepared for a surreal drama combining traditional narrative with experimental elements to challenge audiences’ understanding of the norms ingrained in society and expected of them.

 
I think I’ve pretty much deciphered the surreal and the enigmatic for a review article that doesn’t spoil nor despoil the cinematic surprises in Director Tang’s deftly made flick. However, FISHTANK also required a different approach to reviewing it – audiences may have to  keep eyes and ears more open more than usual.

Director Adam J. Graves – “I wanted to capture that wondrous combination of magic and emotion, of innocence and mischief, which is part of childhood itself — these are kids after all, not statistics. Though every film is collaborative, this one was much more so than most. Were it not for the talent and support of the children of the Salaam Baalak Trust (especially our brilliant star, Sajda Pathan), we never could have brought this important story to the screen.” – Review-Article by Gregg W.
