Catherine Warner in Alex Withrow's Earrings (2012) |
After working on it for the past year, Alex of And So It Begins... has premiered the first entry of his passion project - a short film entitled Earrings. I don't think I could, in good conscience, review the film because it's much more than that. It's the culmination of a fellow blogger's efforts to create something visual, something more than a blog post. You can read about Alex's journey here.
I will say, I think the film succeeds on so many levels. The visuals are inspired, the performances natural, the music haunting, and the mood wonderfully restrained. That's not a full review, but, again, it isn't intended to be. Call it a hearty recommendation from one blogger to another.
I'm looking forward to watching it in just a little while. Glad you put up this post -- more people need to read/watch Alex.
ReplyDeleteVery enjoyable site Josh.
I couldn't agree more, and thanks Sam.
DeleteMore people need to see Alex's short film, so good job highlighting it here!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned the short had arrived to my twitter followers, and see you did also
I agree! I hope more people will hear about the film - be it through Twitter, Facebook, a blog, or on Letterboxd - because it deserves more attention.
DeleteJosh, thanks for all of your kind words, both here and throughout this process.
ReplyDeleteI can't thank you (and Chris and Sam) enough for spreading the word on the movie. You guys rock.
You're more than welcome man. Your hard work payed off, and you made a great film. I'm happy to spread the word on it.
