"Yes, very derelict (.....)" - a review by em_fiction(see Nerd Boy (2004) for Top screen introduction)
The Derelict Plain - Damien Csehi
10 minutes
Mooroolbark Heights Secondary College, Mooroolbark
"A beautifully constructed mystery set in the rolling fields of a country long forgotten. Attention to detail is finely wrought in this evocation of another time and place."
This sepia-toned gangster fantasy mystery (I know, what a genre!) is the only top screen short set in a past era. It's about a guy, standing in the middle of an open plain, who finds a mysterious box with creepy engravings. Something in the box possesses him, and later some people die (in all honesty, I can't remember who).
I'll just keep this one short and sweet: in terms of filmmaking, The Derelict Plain was far better than some of the other crap, but still no cigar. And it's all about the plot, mate — it's all about the plot. |
