Better than expected

Given that the quality of most Canadian productions seems to be lower than their American counterparts, I was pleasantly surprised when I caught this short film on CBC Television.

The summary on IMDb sums up the story pretty well; all I can say is that the twist was rather unexpected, and the build-up to the end was very well done. The film won the prestigious Platinum Remi Award in the short suspense/thriller category at the 2004 Worldfest-Houston Film Festival. (Worldfest is the festival that gave Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Ang Lee, John Lee Hancock, Randall Kleiser, Ridley Scott, Robert Rodriguez, Robert Townsend, Spike Lee, Oliver Stone and David Lynch their first awards.)

It is also showing at the Sacramento Film and Music festival this coming August. If you get a chance to view this, I'd highly recommend it!
