A great and heartfelt story of lost love and opportunity

I saw this film at the Boston International Film Festival and was very impressed with it. It is a short film of approximately 15 minutes, and it has such a powerful story line and great acting that is necessary for a short film to be successful. The lead actor really captures the emotion and allows the audience to feel his pain. The story basically shows what would have happened had a relationship formed between him and a woman he had a brief encounter with years before. The movie leaves you with the feeling of wonder over chance encounters and missed opportunities. This is a great first film for the very talented Writer/Director Court William Dunn. In talking about the film after it was shown, he mentioned that he is in the process of completing a feature that he also wrote and directed by the title of "Midnight in a Perfect World." I look forward to seeing more from this talented new director!
