A short film called Crab Fishing. Can you resist?
I quite like this! It's not exactly funny - except when the guy with the snorkel suddenly comes up out of the water - and it's pretty much your standard self-absorbed teenage I-just-don't-fit-in melancholia, but it's got a nice quirkiness to it, it's well-made from the technical point of view, and the acting seems very natural. The guy in the snorkel's a bit like a younger version of Lee Mack.
Very good.
Your camera operator has a good eye.
Personally I would like to see the dialogue slightly tighter, more 'written' if you like - it can be as enigmatic as you want - but there seems to be a mis-match between the structured visuals and the 'loose-ness' when the characters speak - the camera goes a bit steady-cam then, too, as if it's reacting to this slightly more structure-less phase ( this may well be deliberate - but I preferred the economy of the start)
Nice simple story, well told IMO.
