New & Notable: April
Directed by: Alan Spearman
The photography here is quite good and the director moves through the narrative at a brisk pace. It’s a beautiful study contrasting the secrets we keep as children and the ones we keep as adults. The child understands that it is scared, the adult understands why. Despite the substantial differences, the director allows for both of his characters to speak of their understanding whimsically which adds depth and substance to the barely audible words. An official selection of Slamdance 2013.
