The twist of this short is very easy to figure out, but that doesn't really matter, as the main appeal is the bonding between artist (Trin Miller) and model (Jasper Newman). It would have been very easy for the director to turn their connection into a sexual relationship, or a more chaste romantic one, but instead the limited runtime is effectively used to just show two people getting to know the edges of each other. It feels very real, without coming across as a mumblecore pastiche.

There's also some lovely location work which just enhances the viewing experience while still seeming like a normal part of the setting.
