Short Cuts: Time's Up, Eve!

I've recently become acquainted with a filmmaker named Patrick Rea, and I just watched a cool little short film he co-wrote and directed. It's called Time's Up, Eve! It's a black and white period piece with a young woman (Sharon Wright) pursued by shadowy figures who are trying to take her most precious possession...and I don't mean her life.

Here's a link to the short over at the Vimeo site - it runs 12 minutes and change:

Check it out!


What I liked about this flick - it was, indeed, as advertised...short. I like movies that take exactly enough time to tell their story, no more, no less. This is the kind of short that makes me wish there were more anthology shows and movies. It's beautifully shot, in gorgeous black and white, and with a visual flair of a much larger movie. The acting is fine, the direction and editing crisp. The thing I liked most about it - here's a black and white movie with an attractive blonde being chased by dark forces - and it was partially shot in Lawrence Kansas - just like another cool black and white movie with an attractive blonde being chased by dark forces - 1962's Carnival of Souls!
 

 
Well done, Mr. Rea, and everybody who had a hand in the creation of this entertaining movie!
