Always Reaching (2009)
Solid. Evocative.

A good short film. Thoughtful but not manipulative. Allows the viewer to work through the evaluative process on their own, rather than leading them by the nose. Great potential applications on several levels. This is a film with a point, but the point isn't foisted on the viewer. The atmosphere works well with the plot. Acting is OK; not Academy Award level, but it gets the job done. The male lead could be a bit stronger, and his interpretations not quite so forced or clichéd. The cinematography is pleasing; good transitions, well-framed. The overall effect works for me. I'm going to see more of Mikel's work, as the result of viewing this film.
