Signs - Short Film

A short & sweet, well narrated and a beautiful feel good movie...


I recently watched this short film on the internet called Signs, directed by an Australian director named Partick Hughes in the year 2008. This movie is about 12 minutes and what it can do to you is amazing. Its a very simple plot, but the narration is outstanding. There are no dialogues except for two place where the lead character is in a meeting (some one else is presenting some stuff) and a message on the answering machine.

The narration doesn't just keep you completely involved in the story for that 12 mintues, it also leaves you laughing with the characters and make you feel sad for the lead character towards to end. This is a feel good movie that you'll never regret watching. Both actors who have played Jason and Stacy have done a great job, especially the actor who played Jason - his acting was phenomenol. I could relate to the first 2 - 3 minutes of this movie.

The director has chosen a simple, straight forward narration and the same is so powerful when presented on the screen! The background score is mesmerising and goes very well with the mood of the movie and the audience! This movie is a very good example of how to make a good movie. Upcoming or aspiring film makers definitely have a lot to learn form this movie.

This is a must watch and it does not take more than 13 minutes to watch (I don't want to spoil the experience by revealing the plot here). Please watch this movie if you find time, you can find this movie on youtube if you search with the directors name and the movie title I guess. Look for the file that has a run time of little more than 12 mins.

And here is the URL for the moview IMDB page.
