I was lucky enough to see this at SXSW 2006 and it was an incredibly moving film. Few shorts can gather the audience's attention, especially those under 10 minutes. To do it so drastically with essentially no sound is even more rare. I hate that after festivals nearly all shorts die except for the exception that get picked up by IFC and the obscure chance that you happen upon those selected few. Please post this short on a website somewhere. 

Hopefully one day we'll get a chance to buy these for a couple of bucks off iTunes. Then we benefit as well as the filmmakers who shell out their hard earned cash. Or festivals could sell compilation DVD's of the best shorts. Who wouldn't want to buy that? It surly would help these artists raise money for their next projects.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
