A short film that I liked



This film is called apricot and written & directed by Ben Briand. This is a very passionate short film. I loved how this mezmorizes and draws you right into a dream like state and then puts you back into reality. The colours of the film are quite light and natural . The music is soothing and feels like it is meant to send you to sleep. The music comes in when you see what happens when this girl was younger. You know the time has changed because the picture is more mystic. This film is about someones first love and first kiss and telling someone in a cafe all about it.
