Defective Detective

There are numerous short films that deserve more attention in my opinion, so here's my small contribution to that cause. I hope to keep posting short films here regularly :)

This is a film by Avner Geller and Stevie Lewis. I only read a little into the backstory of this short, but something that really caught my interest was the fact that they put a lot of effort into researching before creating the conceptual stages. Below is a little piece from the article that can be found in the below link, the article :

"We weren’t very familiar with this style of storytelling and cinema, and had to do a lot of research. Learning more about the world in which the film takes place was one of the most fun stages of production. We collected a lot of picture reference of old apartments in France and studied different kinds of furniture and appliances that were used during that time. We watched a lot of film noir movies and were inspired by the tone and style of detective films. Once you immerse yourself in a certain world you start recognizing new references that relate to it everywhere. For instance we started to see detective images and caricatures everywhere even when we weren’t looking."


Enjoy :)


I love the bit where he imagines her being cut in 9 pieces, brilliant!
