'Connected, Connection' is a refreshing triumph in the world of short films. A timely and highly relevant plot grips the audience whilst authentically resonating with everyone's personal experiences within lockdown.
The poetically written dialogue and monologues of the leads, poignantly addresses the dynamics of a lockdown-relationship and subtly demonstrates how a seemingly unfortunate situation away from loved ones can in fact offer a period of self-reflection and aid one in garnering the courage to truly express oneself.
This personal plot is expertly executed through clever directing, cinematography and acting, and the subtle undertones of a delicate situation are masterfully constructed by score choice, sound manipulation and softer set locations.
I greatly anticipate the next piece produced by Edward Whelan and his team - Connected, Connection marks a successful entrance into the world of film.
