"Lizzie and Sarah" is a 29-minute short film from the UK that was released 5 years ago. The director is Elliot Hegarty ("The Middle") and the two writers are Julia Davis and Jessica Hynes. This duo also plays the title characters, which may be one reason why this worked out so well. They knew exactly what they wanted and I am totally willing to deal the aging makeup if it looks so realistic. Both actresses are considerably younger, even more so in 2010. I thought this was a pretty entertaining watch. The dramatic moments were as tense as the comedic ones were funny. It's also easy to understand for a non-native speaker like myself. This pilot episode was never followed up on sadly, but I am not really mad about it. I may have watched a series with these two, but who knows what it may have looked like after they killed off 3 major characters in this short film already. Possibly, it would have been completely different. It's good for what it is. watch this short film if you get your hands on a copy. I recommend it.
