British writer, director and producer Jordan Barrett offers up Exodus (2011), a new dramatic short film starring James Hedley and Lawson Hind. Barrett, whose previous credits include the short films Per Mare, Per Terram (writer/director/producer) and Ash Wednesday (writer/producer), delivers a sharp sliver of a story that has the potential to be an even more intense feature film, with an ending as appropriately abrupt as it’s beginning.
Exodus opens much like an episode of a J.J. Abrams television series. The audience is thrown into the middle of Jacob’s (James Hedley) current dilemma, as confused and disoriented as the character himself. Jonathan Armandary’s score is powerful and dramatic, building suspense… and then goes silent, only to be broken a moment later by the harsh, jarring static of a mysterious walkie talkie left with Jacob in the small, enclosed room.
