Review: “BEAUTIFUL EXPOSURE”

By DC Shorts on | Comments (0)

Beautiful Exposure

Director: Geoff McGee
Running Time: 12 minutes
Genre: Suspense
IMDB Page

Beautiful Exposure is a well shot black and white suspense story about a photographer and the woman he’s obsessed with. Stylized and lyrical as the photographer quotes a poem by Thomas O’Brian, the short tries so hard to be intense and read between the lines that audiences run the risk of being confused. It is in images that the film is strongest, showing what is seen and unseen and delving into the gray lines between black and white, what we can see and what lies hidden in shadow.
