Why Watch? In The Ride, a young man is waiting on his friends to go on a road trip when he runs into his ex-girlfriend. They talk, reminisce, and connect in a surprising new way when he offers to take her home. Timothy Melville‘s short film is nine parts verite chemistry and one part rug-pulling shock. The kind of storytelling that eschews exposition for a sweet mystery of life, slowly letting us into the couple’s world as they reconnect beyond small talk and awkward cadences. Stars Benjamin Rigby and Belinda Misevski both hold attention in an effortless — admittedly Abercrombie & Fitch — way, but it’s really their connection that matters because with lesser actors, the film wouldn’t float nearly as well toward its punchy conclusion. At this point, it’s pretty clear Melville has a favorite style. What Will It Cost? About 6 minutes. A New Short Film Every Weekday...

Why Watch? Because all you need for a movie is a pretty girl and a gun. A young man returns to his wash at the laundromat after getting quarters to find a lively blonde sitting across from him and a gun sitting on top of his dirty unmentionables. This short works so well because the two leads are not bad too look at, and their chemistry is obvious. It’s a sweet little connection that has it’s own twists. It’s that connection that should make us question the simple act of flirting. If you found a gun in your laundry, what would you do? What Will It Cost? Just 6 minutes of your time. Does it get better any better than that? Check out The Laundromat for yourself: The Laundromat (2009) Written and Directed by: Timothy Melville Starring: Eliza Taylor and Tim Ross Trust us. You have time for more short films.
