Let me fast forward this review and just say that this short is more than 100% everything I look for in movies. It's so well shot and creative that even though you may have seen its story told before, you've never seen it told so well.
Carrie (McKenna Marmolejo, who owns every second she's on screeen) and Don (Max Jablow) plan to have sex for the first time in the back of Don's dad's minivan on prom night. They're invisible kids in 1991 but would are the kind of geeks that rule the world today. He writes Rush-like science fiction songs about her; she watches Shaw Brothers movies. But just as they prepare to change their lives with some underage sex, they watch prom queen get slashed by two of their teachers, Mr. Little (Yuri Lowenthal, the video game voice of Spider-Man) and Ms. Cox (Jayne McLendon).
I can't even emphasize how perfect every moment of this short is. It's so charming, so filled with absolute joy. It made my day so much better watching it and I'm still smiling about it.
