Passing Hearts / The Winter People

Passing hearts is most definitely one of my favorites of the short films we have watched in class. There is something beautiful about telling a story just the way it is, and not changing everything around to explain it. For example, The Winter People was a really nice idea. The cinematography was nice, the actors were good, the story was clever, and then they just explained everything. I find when short films end up explaining the story rather than telling it I find myself getting less out of what the filmmakers were trying to convey. With Passing Hearts I just watched, and experienced the film. Everything came naturally. While everything was explained, I didn't have to think to figure it out - they were simply telling a story.
