Dandelion
What would you do if you were the last person standing on earth but turns out there were two of you? The instinct to live and survive can make a cannibal or a warrior in you. It is natural instinct to think of yourself first before everyone else. This story shows the true nature of people when faced with adversities and little hope.
Dany is the lone survivor after the apocalypse. While trying to enjoy her solitude, she realizes that she is not alone after all. This discovery clicks on the survivor instinct in her feeling that everything around her is an enemy. When they finally meet they realized that being friends can be a better idea to survive the world.
Complications and conflicts happen because of the dandelion plant. The ending is tragic but kept the twist intact. But the ending is where the thrill is. And yes, it was the best part of the short film.
Technically, this short film has a good concept. The cinematography and editing were rough but appropriate for the setting of this environment. The acting is quite good with solid performances from both Jessica Staples, Rio Van Zant.
At the end of watching the film, I would like to think that the short film is aiming to make the viewers feel the need for survival and hope. It aims to give that feeling of thrills and drama. I commend the effort of the filmmaker and everyone in it especially the actors. Sound design is quite good. The actors did a great job as the lead actress and supporting actress.
