Extraordinary! This short film by a university student is very well produced with great visuals and imagination. The terror the young boy experiences while in his great uncle's care is thoughtfully portrayed and carefully constructed. The ending brings great satisfaction to the story and we see the great uncle isn't completely wacko. Because it could be somewhat frightening to younger children, I recommend it for ages 11 to 18 as well as adults. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. Reviewed by Julie S. KIDS FIRST! Juror
In the center of this comedy is timid six-year-old Tommy, whose parents make the terrible mistake of letting insensitive great-uncle Will babysit the child. That same night, sleepless Tommy loses his first tooth, and with no one there to answer his questions, the boy's vivid imagination runs wild. Accepted: New York International Children's Film Festival, London Short Film Festival, Bucharest Short Film Festival, Edinburgh International Short Film Festival.
