Disturbing yet beautiful
preppy-314 December 2011
We see a day in the life of Eric (Brian Estel). There's no dialogue--just a beautiful music score playing through the entire short. It does get dark and have a twist at the end which caught me by surprise. I should have seen it coming but I didn't. Estel is great in the lead--you can see all his emotions clearly on his face. He also is young, handsome and in great shape and easy on the eyes. The movie does have full frontal male nudity but no explicit sex. Also well-directed too. The music and images work together perfectly.

Disturbing but beautifully done. Well worth catching. Estel is someone to watch out for.

Quiet On the Set!
AsianTalentHollywood27 April 2010
What makes movie making magical is the artistry and talent of all the players coming together in the right combination to give the audience something attention grabbing and unique. Mr. London has done this by creating a quasi silent film. A day in the life of a college student becomes a mystery with a clever twist. The audience is taken through a series of visual clues, some of which are not at first obvious as clues, to tell us a story without dialogue. While the end may seem inconclusive, the journey is clear and engaging. He easily takes the viewer through a series of emotions through acting and not dialogue. The beautiful piano score written for the film is a perfect contrast to the edginess of the story. Like the film itself, the title is a mystery that is solved through "a day in the life" of the main character. A must see short film.

the other
Kirpianuscus27 August 2016
seductive manner to propose a simple question - who is the other? not out of ordinary secrets but what is the detail who defines him ? the manner used by director to suggest more to say, to give clues without a verdict, to guide the viewer in a trip and create the right end are admirable. because all seems be around the title. number of the days from year. number of the first hotel room. number of days elapsed on the first date. it is only a day. from many other. before and after the story. and this fact does it special. and almost perfect portrait of the common existence as shelter of a dark side of it. more important - the kick to reflection. about the other, sure. and about ourselves.
