NAFF 2010 | 30 Day Promise
By Kwaku Adu-Poku30 Day Promise
Canada, 2009, 8 min
DIR: Xia Lee
30 Day Promise follows a man named Vincent Ternida as he recounts his experience of love lost. Screenwriter, producer, and star Ternida teamed up with director, producer, cinematographer and editor Xia Lee to realize this emotional story through an experimental form. The film was created with only an emotion to be conveyed in mind, and consists of Vincent's voiceover dialogue paired with shots of him wandering around downtown Vancouver.
This film is beautiful in its simplicity. Ternida's stories of insecurities and former loves are so real that they can't help but move something in you. He represents the everyman, pondering his misadventures in love and the mundanity of not only his own existence, but life itself. This is the kind of film that you need to just see for yourself. I thought it was amazing. And its only 8 minutes long.
Preceded by The Golden Pin. Followed by My Toxic Baby.
Screening: Sunday, May 30th, at 1pm.
