"Session Man" is an American short film from 1991, so this one had its 25th anniversary last year. Writer and director is the late Seth Winston and this one here is probably the only film he is known for as despite it winning an Academy Award, he never really managed to break through afterward. The title already gives a way slightly what this half hour is about. The protagonist has to fill in at a successful music group when one of their musicians quits in a fit of anger. As the group is really successful, the central character quickly hopes that this may be his chance to have a good career for himself, but is this really how things will turn out? Watch for yourself. The main character here is played by Chris Manning and I personally don't know him, but there are semi-famous names to the cast here as well, such as James Remar. Anyway, overall, this was an okay little film with some decent music too, but honestly, even for 30 minutes the story seemed to be not enough and there were a few lengths. Six out of ten is definitely on the more generous side here and even if I recommend checking it out, there is no way this is really an Oscar-worthy work.
