Title: Down and Out
Genre: Short film
Director: Udoka Oyeka
Year: 2012
Down and Out is a short film on actions and repercussions. A young woman who was traumatised by rape chooses to carry a knife for protection while a family man who had just being sacked chooses the gun. That said, the whole production is chaotic. I mean, everything seems disconnected throughout. Words don’t match expressions, expressions are outlandish to actions, and scene transitions are abrupt and annoying. The director and editor made a bit of a mess out of a wonderful story. However, behind the terrible production lies a reason to reflect on your actions and the reactions they garner.
