Project Direct 2009: Flash

This story is one of self-fulfilling prophesy. A man, dying in the streets, sees his life flash before his eyes. In the end, he must make a choice: choose to live and stay connected, or disconnect and choose death.

Want to know the meaning behind the red telephone?

A telephone can symbolize connectedness. If Bob and Bill are talking on the phone, they are connected in a sense. Much like that analogy, David has a choice - choose to stay connected to life and reality (stay alive), or choose to hang up and effectively end any connection with that reality (in other words, choose to die).

really nice piece of work. My only criticism is that the fight wasn't overly convincing. but otherwise this is one of the better ones.

Reeeeeally well done, guys. Loved it. The titling was beautiful, such great editing. The whole concept with the phone worked wonderfully. A+. Watch ours, let us know what you think!

I love how this 5 mins actually makes you think. Nothing is handed to you, the closer you pay attention the more you get out, is there any other goal of a film than that?

Well played

[Rileygirl2113]

wow. that was amazing. good job!

[mcintron123]

Amazing job. Love that you used the phone as an integral part of the story and not just a prop. GL
