Beautifully performed and exhibiting efficient employment of limited resources, the short film communicates its intentions lucidly to the viewer. It brings in performance poetry, but takes it a step further by dramatising the narrative, allowing it to sustain the intimacy of the form, while also playing and experimenting with it.
As our protagonist recounts his experience of battling social anxiety, and fears, doubts and uncertainty about life, in general, and about a blind date, in particular in this specific moment, the short film comes into its own. Additionally, it is marked by a single person performing multiple roles and donning several hats, revealing the potential of its young, lean cast and crew, leaving you with the possibility of more such projects by the team.
