I saw this short with several other films as part of a showcase in Sydney and I found it was easily best of the lot. For a short, 'Untitled/The Trees' was very cinematic; well shot, had a great soundtrack and the performances from the very sexy cast (particularly from the two guys) were outstanding - you could feel the tension between them; who was being honest and who wasn't. The film has two story lines happening simultaneously - three student actors in a school play, then the actors themselves partying in a Motel room. What's interesting is how the storyline in the play blends with what's going on in the Motel room, and these three youths definitely have a lot happening - peer pressure, drugs, lies, sex, narcissism, and some strong homo-erotic undertones. As far as experimental cinema goes, if you have a chance to see it, this is a short film that is definitely worth a look!
