. "Broken"

Director Alex Ferrari put together this short film on an extremely limited budget in a virtuoso demonstration of his and his team's exceptional visual talents. The feel for low key textural lighting and effects derived from editing and digital technique are consistent and original, especially as these elements convey the theme of brokenness.

Interestingly, their creativity in visual design crosses over to their exemplary website where you can see a trailer of the 20-minute film. I'd have these guys redo my website anytime!

It's enough to make you wonder what they could put out there with a well-written feature length film and an ample budget. It won't surprise me if this serious little effort leads to that larger opportunity.
