5/5
Bob
A girl invites a costumed stranger off the street to her older sister’s dinner party. The mysterious man simply called ‘Bob’ seems friendly enough……
The short opens with 5-minutes of suicidal chaos as our main character contemplates ending his life. Haunted by his past, Jared battles relentlessly with his existence – a mental state seemingly in disrepair. Although the persistent rattling of prescription medication makes for irritating viewing, it forces the audience to encompass the mayhem.
Jared’s attempt is hastily put aside as he is visited by several significant individuals from his life – seemingly from a party occurring outside his bedroom door. Caleb Neet’s performance of a dishevelled manic-depressive is remarkable and executed cautiously. Visual storytelling that evokes such a tough subject matter can be challenging to pull off tastefully. However, under Asti’s careful script and direction, the trauma is convincingly felt and we are quickly rooting for the protagonist’s recovery.
