We were first introduced to Ben Briand through his sumptuous short Apricot, well he’s back again with another fine piece of intriguing filmmaking, Some Static Started. It’s definitely a weirder piece than Apricot and where his previous film felt like a indie love story, his latest film, with its unanswered questions and rumbling soundtrack, feels like it’s straight out of the Lynch mould.
Yeah, I wasn’t exactly in the tank for Apricot, but I struggled to find anything interesting in this one =(
That’s a shame, I really like the atmosphere of this. It had my brain buzzing trying to figure out the different characters’ relationships.
Snap. I really enjoyed the mystery and intrigue of Some Static Started, it doesn’t have the instant charm of Apricot, but its definitely a short I want to know more about.
