The film presents to us a single conversation within which several crucial elements are invoked. A friendship that has lasted twenty-four years, international security matters and secrets, and the confession about a person’s identity to his friend, all of them are brought to life within it. As matters come to a head, there is the endeavor to finally offer a moment of high tension as the film's climax. The final result exhibits potential in weaving a story and plot, one that should definitely be explored further. ‘The Last Conversation’, thus becomes a seminal and important first step in that direction.

The Last Conversation | Short Film Nominee

‘Macbeth’ is an engagement with guilt that has followed in the wake of a violent act. At the onset of the story, we are met with a terribly heinous occurrence. It is an event that would continue to have ripples on the rest of the narrative. We are then met with the eponymous protagonist and the many ways in which his conscience has been fractured by the ensuing guilt, especially in a world afflicted by the isolation of the pandemic. 

The film brings in a dedicated effort in stylizing itself with music, even if a few minor slips stay in the department of visuals. There is further evidence of devotion to storytelling and the execution of the plot, characteristics which can and should be explored in future projects.

Macbeth | Short Film Nominee

Once a heinous act has been committed, what gets left behind in its wake? While it can be trauma and intense mental turmoil for the survivor, for the perpetrator, it can sometimes take the form of guilt. The short film wants to talk about the same idea by showing us the aftermath of a sexual assault. After a man has managed to outrage the modesty of a woman in a dark alley, he may have avoided any external retribution, but how will he outrun his own conscience? The film raises the same rhetorical question by condemning him to a life of eternal guilt.
