I watched 'Backstory' at the Blackbird Film Festival in April of 2018, having traveled to New York from Melbourne, Australia, as my own film was selected.
Never before have I been so dazed and bewildered by such an incredible film. I was moved, I laughed and cried. I literally turned to my friend with my mouth on the floor.
Joschka Laukeninks has done a brilliant job capturing the humanity of an ordinary human, the ever present and looming truth of our own mortality, the beauty in love and loss, the wonder of childhood as well as beautifully knowing what to reveal to the audience and what to hold on to until the end.
Everything in this film, the perfect cinematography, the writing, the acting, the score, the precise editing and the melancholic narration. It was all brilliant! I loved every single moment of the film and I love showing it to people for the first time. The film went on to win Best Short at the festival and I stood up and applauded wholeheartedly.
Cannot wait to see what the creatives have in stall next.
