Meanwhile, another literary shift I am slowly yet fondly taking on is reading short stories than novels. You know why? Because an impact a novel leaves us with can be sourced from a mere short story - that is how powerful, or sometimes more, it is for a literary piece. With short stories, you don't necessarily get the details, just settle with emotions and you will have more than what you paid for. In short, there is beauty, and plenty of them, in short stories.
Knowing this, my best friend Khaye recommended that I watch some short films produced by Wung Fu Productions on YouTube. I kept on forgetting this info until she finally shared me a link. After watching the first and her favorite clip, I thought: what have I been browsing in YouTube all those years?
To get a sense of what I am talking about here, kindly watch this clip:
And oh, please read the caption below FIRST. I didn't understand it the first time because I jumped to the video right away. Khaye was really dumbfounded and I was really ashamed.
"Can the things we love, love us back just the same? Five household objects express their feelings toward their owner when she begins to neglect them for someone else. "When Five Fell" is a new take on the ideal boy-meets-girl love story. Although the short is told from a unique and unconventional perspective, the emotions described should be familiar to anyone that's fallen in or out of a relationship."
Just to manage the length of this blog (though it's a free space), just tell me if you find the video - from script to cinematography - lovely and I'll share you the sweet and short script :) I hope my best friend doesn't get angry because she is my source to all good reads pirated from the web.
Thanks! I'll write to you again, then :)
