Rift

The blurb: A family man has his devotion challenged by an unexpected visitor.

This sensational short film accomplishes so much with so little. There’s almost no dialogue, the camera doesn’t move much and there’s no music. The main actor, Zach Sale, encompasses so many emotions in the single shot of his face. The film has a lot to say about family life, sexuality and the decisions we make about our relationships. It feels like an added bonus that Zach resembles Brokeback Mountain’s Jake Gyllenhaal.
