A short film about kindness titled We’ve All Been There won Australia’s Tropfest last night.
Film-maker Nicholas Clifford won the prize from a shortlist of 16 films screened across numerous live sites and on SBS.
The film looks at shared kindness with a young waitress in need of kindness receives it from someone who experienced it themselves.
Lovely story. Beautifully made. A wonderful reminder to us all of how much better life is when we just take the time to do good things. Congrats to all concerned.
While the camera work for the first half of this short was incredible. I implore people to look at the music video on Youtube ‘The Chain Of Love’ by Clay Walker. It depicts the EXACT same story as this short. Now, the short did give credit to a ‘short story’ that it was based on. A lot of the time these shorts are judged on what unique ideas and compelling bites of life they depict, it’s always a bit disheartening to learn the material isn’t original. That doesn’t detract from the skilled film making here – but please be aware that the touching story was TOTALLY lifted.
