Monster Sitter
SHORT FILM
“Prendendo a pretesto la ben nota leggenda di un mostro nel lago e pur disponendo di soli pochi minuti, il film riesce a rappresentare fedelmente una piccola comunità che custodisce gelosamente sé stessa serbando l’ipotetico segreto di una creatura fantastica. In una società in cui tutti sono disposti a svendere sé stessi cercando l’immediata visibilità, la sottile vena umoristica ed ironica riesce con leggerezza e garbo ad abbozzare anche uno spunto di critica sociale.”
Motivazione della giuria del Festival cortoLovere 2019 per l’assegnazione del premio Miglior Cortometraggio “Occhi Sul Lago”
“Delightful!”
“Quirky and fun! Simple and effective with nicely done editing and sound.”
“Very well made, funny and very sweet. Excellent observation on how we need to photograph things in order to make them real.”
