zack & luc had plenty of success on the film festival circuit, and now it’s been released on the web, so we can all get a look at this gay-themed short film treat.
The 15-minute short is ‘A split-screen film telling two versions of the entire story of a relationship. Each memory becomes intertwined with all the others: the firsts, the lasts, the middles, each of the small nothing moments that add up to something in the end.’ It’s also got a great vintage look, due to being shot entirely on Super 8 film.
While the split-screen set-up could have felt gimmicky, it works surprisingly well, use the two side to compare and contrast, oftn showing us the same events as different times from different angle. Indeed, at times it’s oddly mesmerising as your eye flick from one side to the other.
Take a look at Zack and Luc below. If you know a short film we ought to be posting, tell us by getting in touch via our contact page. And check out more gay short films and web series here.
