Irrevocable

I caught a screening of 'Irrevocable' a new short film from co-Directors Conrad Le Bron and Stevie Cruz-Martin.   The film uses a non-linear approach to show several different characters experience and respond to a single act of brutal violence.

I don't know much about these filmmakers, I've auditioned Le Bron as an actor in the past and I think actors can make great storytellers and filmmakers because they really understand the nature of performance and creating dramatic moments.   I thought this film created a great mood and atmosphere, and I liked it's loose camera work and easy going appraoch, it could have easy been painfully melodramatic.

The non-linear storytelling device is one that has been used to death and there are so many short films that utilise it - it would have been great to see a fresher approach to showing multiple perspectives.   The performances from Le Bron, Kelly Paterniti and AManda McGregor and Jake Lyall were all pretty good.   This films worth a look if you see it screening again.
