Proximity: A FilmRiot Short

         Proximity was created by a Youtube channel called FilmRiot. It is a 10 minute short film that was written and filmed in about five days.

            This short is an inspiration as the makers were actually intending to make a twenty minute film but some financial things fell through last minute so instead because they already had some of the equipment they created a new script and made this film.

The cool thing about FilmRiot is that they show the independent and learning filmmaker the whole process from preproduction to postproduction with behind the scenes and just talking about the things they had to go through to accomplish this task.

Proximity itself is very cool and a well put together short. A very interesting sub-plot that you don’t realize truly existed until the very end. A kind of psychological action thriller as the best I can describe it.

The look is very cool with a nice grainy look to it. The acting is surprisingly good for a short film in my opinion as well as the fighting scenes being well choreographed.

It’s a very cool short and you should see it and also check out FimRiot’s other stuff as their whole channel is dedicated to teaching filmmakers how to be better at everything they do making films which is very nice to know especially for us students.
