A Beautiful Short Which Proves That a Giant Creature From Space Doesn’t Require an Action Scene

Brent Bonacorse ’s The Narrow World is a short that looks great , has a lot of idea , and manages to skitter having a giant pitched struggle as the climax .

The basic premise is that a monumental creature — which looks to be part robot , part glitch — just appears one sidereal day in Los Angeles . The film includes documentary - expressive style talking heads . A researcher for the Department of Homeland Security who is obsessed with witness a cause for its mien , as long as it ’s not an onrush . A fellow member of the military convert it ’s bringing trouble . And a psychologist talking about it in electroneutral terms and human response .

I ’m not a huge fan of the “ twisting ” that connects two characters at the end . But otherwise , I did like this glide path . It works for a short . I wonder how well it could be translated to something longer .
