Stump (2002)
Still with me
I saw this film over ten years ago while on a visit down under and it still sticks with me. Brilliantly acted and well thought out. It has tension, drama, humor. Amazing feat for a short film. Short film formats are infinitely more difficult to do than longer formats, you have so little time to engage the audience. This film did it brilliantly. Being new to Australia it also gave me an (admittedly slightly skewed sense) of Australian humor, sense of place and the incredible talent to be found there. I used to be able to find a clip of this on the Nescafe site to view, but I haven't seen a place anywhere on the net I could watch it ever since. I recall it was an entry to the Nescafe film series, I don't know if they do that or not anymore, but even that was a fantastic idea. I'd love to see it again. Brilliant.
