Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì
The Blacksmith—short film—does not present enough of its story to make sense of it.
It needs expansion to answer these questions: Who is the Blacksmith? He does
not seem to be human. Who is the Challenger? What has happened between them so
that their story has progressed to a duel? The story seems intriguing…the
costume design is exceptionally original. Do the shards of flying metal have a
religious significance? What is the well and why is it full of metal face
masks? A longer, full-length movie may flesh out the details so the audience
can appreciate it. But this short film raises too many questions and provides
too few answers. The musical score perfectly fits the great animation and the storyline
seems to have high potential for full development.

Thanks
Thank you to CGI and VFX Animated Short Film
artists who made this short film possible.
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?Yes. It has that surreal feeling that many dystopian
movies have…and is worth investigating for wider promotion.
