Saw this film by accident at the Laemmle Sunset Theater in Hollywood. My expectations for short films? Usually very low because they are typically snap shots of life or a one-gag joke. However, this director took on the brave task of acutally telling a story with depth and great sensitivity in a classical style.
A young child prodigy violinist (played by a remarkable, young actor named Pappone)struggles for his father's attention. Meanwhile the drunken father has no appreciation for his son let alone his amazing musical talent. Nowak does a terrific job directing all his actors, not to mention the writing and editing, as the performances are as good as any I've seen come from this town.
Give yourself a treat and watch this mini gem!
