Excelente Volare!
Hola soy de Chile y me pareció una buena historia.
Felicitaciones!

fantastico questo film. la storia e la fotografia. complimenti

Impressive piece in black n white...very effective!

nice work man. i dig the contrast and comp.

Qué buen trabajo, planos muy acertados, has conseguido mantener la atmósfera adecuada, la intriga y las ganas de ver el final. Magnífico, enhorabuena!!

Hauntingly beautiful. They really teach you well at that school. B&W is certainly more poetic.

I rarely get into the city. I prefer the farm country of Dutchess Co. Lots of nice things here, like flying, rowing. I'll watch for your next production.

one of the best short I ever seen even though a bit sad. i love the framing very much and i love the silence of it. viva Pavarotti. I m gonna wacth more of your shorts later on, keep it up.bye

Shit that was Powerful and yet sad ............. 10/10

Great short! Thanks for the add!

Ooof! This got me in my solar-plexus. What a powerful emotional entreaty.

There are so many things about this video that make it successful.

Foreshadowing: The aviator cap used as the boy's eccentricity, and the boy watching the plane and passing the 'STOP' sign on the road are both clever foreshadowing.

Using the shadow of the plane early on is a great tie-in to the end.

The abstract aerial shot just before 2:30... I couldn't tell what it was at first, but it soon resolved itself with the entrance of the boy. I thought this was an effective convention: it caused me to have a small epiphany, which, in hindsight, foreshadowed my reaction to the entire plot of the movie.

I liked the different textures of sound: the music [I love that piece], the silent hall with the click of his shoes, the rhythmic sound of the fan... like a heartbeat. And there again... an effective use of shadows. The boy was mesmerized by it... peering into a world he didn't know, but desired because it was an escape from where he was.

I have to say, I knew what was going to happen from the time he began climbing the ladder to the roof, but it didn't detract from the effect, as a matter of fact, it caused increased emotional turmoil in me, hoping he 'wouldn't do it.' Then seeing his frail, half-naked/ exposed body with arms outstretched, welcoming a misguided salvation, I was moved to tears before he took the first step, and once he did, it felt like my lungs filled with cotton and my heart sank. I wanted to reach out and keep him from jumping.

Using the shadow of the plane crossing his mother's face was a really effective way of dealing with his fall.
And then another 'resolution' using that abstract aerial shot. I think this is outstanding. It's successful in so many ways: visually, allegorically, emotionally, and acoustically. This is a very thoughtful and thought-provoking piece... bravo.

... and I'd be remiss if I didn't congratulate the actors; excellent job.

ditto everything byte4byte. this touched me more than any of the feature-length films i've seen lately. amazing. fantastic work jorge. next time you need help in nyc, let me know.

¡usted tiene un talento especial!!!

This was powerful stuff Jorge ! When I saw the boy in the oversized air force helmet I assumed it was his fathers. Then seeing his mother, I thought the father dead. Neither she nor he could live with this. The whole piece came together. You will have a fine career in this field.

wow awesome. keep the good work!
excelente cortometraje!

muy bueno, es verdad! :)

Great piece bro. Stunning.

Me encantó!

Me atrapó de principio a fin.

Felicitaciones.

está muy bueno jorge!! un saludito! besos

hello
i watched your film. and the compositions of the picture and the light looks looks good! ( please deinterlace as many others said!)
the walking sequence from scool to home is long.
out of what purpose did you create this sequence so long? At 4:30 you have a camera tilt, which i would have cut out!
what is the motivation of the boy to be like this? how is his relation to the women, which is on the bed?
as i said great pictures, special story... but about the
cutting and acting i am not so sure...

Gracias por compartir, Jorge. Muy bonito y triste corto. Muy profesional.

We all crave to be noticed. When we cease to be noticed, we cease to be. How sad. What a beautiful portrait of this sadness! Thank you. The visuals and music compliment each other perfectly in the time frame given.
"I'm New York born and raised,
but nowadays I"m lost between two shores.
LA's fine, but it ain't home.
New York"s home, but it ain't mine no more.
I am, I said . . ."

Very good, thank you very much. Please creat more and more.

Powerfully sad and stunning.

10/10

Nice!
No foreshadowing here, I first thought he was going to take a sunbath or something
Only thing that occured to me, if he would have jumped at running speed he would not have landed that close to the house. And I would expect some blood spats.

Very Interesting short. I think it could have been cut even a little shorter.
I did not expect the kid to jump off the roof.
Nice work

really liked this short film. the airplane shadow in the mother's bedroom was great. i agree with you, blood spats would have been too much for this. love that you did it black and white. well done!! - teresa

Yes, the airplane shadow was brilliant.
Sad short film, very nice work.

nice short!!!

This was on NYFA's site wasn't? I remember seeing it back when I was looking at going to school there. Really awesome job.

I love this; I've posted it on My Favorites page: tbytegraphics.com/myFavorites.php

All the best,
Terre
