A very good drama from Trinidad & Tobago, which won the Best Short Film award in the Belize Film Festival, Shaun Escayg's "Fish" benefits from a very direct story and above average "mise-en-caméra" that instead of preaching includes a single telling shot that suggests the rationale behind the marginality of the main character Fish (handsome Marc Escayg) and his cousin Sticky in modern day Port-of-Spain. While trying to survive stealing in a market, they get caught in a violent situation with drug dealers. A tight script with fast resolution, fine technical aspects and good performances, make "Fish" a winning step for the development of Caribbean commercial cinema.
