Directed by Vanessa Meyer, who co-wrote this short with Joshua Strauch, Foot Trouble is about Jade, who has a foot issue that no one wants to discuss. I mean, my biology teacher and his daughter both had webbed feet and I remember once he made her take her shoes and socks off and show all of us, so the world even outside of this movie is strange. So are parents.
Jade decides that instead of just getting past those feet. She covers them up with socks for swim class. I mean, you want that goth boy to notice you, I guess. When you're young, you blow romance out of proportion, but I never had to come home to cold hot dogs and my mom's next strange boyfriend. Just warm soda -- my parents did not believe in ice, for some strange reason -- and my dad sleeping through Married With Children.
This has a lot of style, even if it doesn't hit many of its lofty targets. That said, it looks great and the talent shines through.
