O Outro Rapaz (The Other Boy)

This was my first short where I wasn't in complete control of the story. One of my High-school Visual Arts course classmates, Neoberto Barros, came to me and proposed doing an adaptation of João Anzanello Carrascoza's "E Vem o Sol". Once I read it, I knew this would be an interesting work. The story its quite clear and simplistic so I decided to keep the short that way. Most of the off screen narration is from the actual story, but actions on screen are detached from the narrative. Being this a story starring a child, this short starring an young adult would always be an interpretation of childhood. The actions are "emptiful" and cold, much to the likeness of the depressive views the young character in the story holds. His identity is not necessary, he's more of an situation rather than an individual. Ethnicity is present along the narrative, although hardly ever referred up until the latter minute. By the very end, the phrase "For your consideration" appears on screen. Rather than a typical festival judging "add on", this carries out as a literal "for your consideration" moment. Basically once the screen goes black (for a final time) the casual viewer would return to the world and discard if not forget what he had seen in the film. The "For your consideration" its a final attempt to catch the viewer's attention and awareness to the message of the short-film.
