From the Judges, on Will "The Machine" (2019)
From the Judges, on Will "The Machine"
It lingers, the kind of short that invites you to keep turning it over long after it ends. The panel found it richly filmed and confidently directed, a character-driven study of ambition pushed to its limits that uses the short form with real command. They responded to the complexity of its central figure and to how openly the film holds itself to interpretation, giving the performance and the images room to do the work.
