Classic Short Film
takethathonesty8 May 2019
To Build a Fire is not only a staple in American Literature, but also, this is a milestone in Pimentel's Career. Winning two Film Festivals for 'Best Dramatic Short,' this film has set the tone & pace for all his Directorial installments in Cinema.

By mixing Jack London's reach into the depths of mankind along with the minimalist & neorealist approach of Alexander's filmmaking, 'Build a Fire,' stands as a 20min experience of tragedy, turmoil and the universal struggle of man vs. nature.

Tom Vincent is a famous role played by David Fichtenmayer and the influence of this Short Film is most prevalent in The Directive 2019. (My favorite Film from this Director)

This should be picked up by The Criterion Collection.
