Synopsis: Lua is a young
girl who has just beenin
a fatal car accident. After
lying inthe hospital bed
observing her mundane
and inapt surroundings
she decides to slip out
onto the streets alone.
Luckily, Tom, anold friend
and the love of her life,
rescues her and as the
sunrises their adventure
unravels...
I was not expecting much
when I sat down to watch
LUA at the UK Independent
Film Festival. It is unusual
to see a film written and
directed by the same
person in this evolved world
of film where the credits
have enough names to run
for over ten minutes. This is
a trait that is now seen as
a quirky characteristic of a
filmmaker, such as Woody
Allen or Quentin Tarantino,
rather than a requirement.
In traditional student film
fashion, the actors were
unrecognisable, and there
were no specially designed
sets or impressive FX, but
this film certainly held itā€™s
own charm.
The pace of the film al-
lowed me to appreciate the
beautifully captured scenic
moments, and emphasise
the heart-breaking love be-
tween the two main charac-
ters without seeming slow.
I particularly enjoyed the
hospital scene where the
quick cuts between Lua and
her perspective created a
sense of adrenaline, building
up to her escape. Lua was
portrayed well; we gather
compassion for her straight
from the start when her
Mother seems so dismiss-
ive of her and her health.
We also see her through
the eyes of Tom frequent ly,
a perspective that makes
it hard to see a fault in the
beautifully vulnerable and
innocent young girl. The film
is framed well, we often see
things from the characters
perspective, like when Lua
first sees Tom when she is
lying in the hospital grounds.
Moments like this keep the
film alluring and enticing
rather than a simple and
boring observation of the
events from an outside per-
spective. I really felt for both
characters and felt really
involved in this film.
Amy Spinks was a perfect
choice for the character,
she has a permanent very
innocent expression, but
teamed with her beauty
it portrays mystery and
thoughtfulness rather than
fear. Butchy Davy, playing
Tom, has a similar caring
ambiance, as an audience
we want him to look after
Lua and we want everything
to turn out well for the
couple. The two of them
are create at creating the il-
lusion of true love, excellent
acting on both parts.
The stunning cinematog-
raphy really reflected the
beauty of their love; while
they are together the
lighting is always colourful
and bright, creating great
aesthetics for the mood of
the film, but also making the
film very pleasant to watch.
The use of lens flares cre -
ated a very romantic feel.
The symbolism of the sun
setting in the final scene
was very successful, I feel
like it guided the audience
into realising that they are
not just taking a dip in the
ocean, it is the end for both
of them.
The editing flowed well, and
the series of events was
well constructed to provide
an entertaining story. The
editing was not flawless
and not as smooth as in-
dustry made films however
it did not affect the overall
image of the film, if anything
it helped to establish
the charm of Lua.
The soundtrack really
completed the film and
embedded all aspects
together. The traditional
and classical piano score
created a timeless im-
pression, establishing the
dream-like qualities hinted
at through other mediums.
Emotive and beautiful, the
music complimented the
film wonderfully.
I am very impressed by this
charming and enchanting
study into the perils of lost
love, an excellently directed
and presented independent
short film.

  • 2. Synopsis: Lua is a young girl who has just beenin a fatal car accident. After lying inthe hospital bed observing her mundane and inapt surroundings she decides to slip out onto the streets alone. Luckily, Tom, anold friend and the love of her life, rescues her and as the sunrises their adventure unravels... I was not expecting much when I sat down to watch LUA at the UK Independent Film Festival. It is unusual to see a film written and directed by the same person in this evolved world of film where the credits have enough names to run for over ten minutes. This is a trait that is now seen as a quirky characteristic of a filmmaker, such as Woody Allen or Quentin Tarantino, rather than a requirement. In traditional student film fashion, the actors were unrecognisable, and there were no specially designed sets or impressive FX, but this film certainly held itā€™s own charm. The pace of the film al- lowed me to appreciate the beautifully captured scenic moments, and emphasise the heart-breaking love be- tween the two main charac- ters without seeming slow. I particularly enjoyed the hospital scene where the quick cuts between Lua and her perspective created a sense of adrenaline, building up to her escape. Lua was portrayed well; we gather compassion for her straight from the start when her Mother seems so dismiss- ive of her and her health. We also see her through the eyes of Tom frequent ly, a perspective that makes it hard to see a fault in the beautifully vulnerable and innocent young girl. The film is framed well, we often see things from the characters perspective, like when Lua first sees Tom when she is lying in the hospital grounds. Moments like this keep the film alluring and enticing rather than a simple and boring observation of the events from an outside per- spective. I really felt for both characters and felt really involved in this film. Amy Spinks was a perfect choice for the character, she has a permanent very innocent expression, but teamed with her beauty it portrays mystery and thoughtfulness rather than fear. Butchy Davy, playing Tom, has a similar caring ambiance, as an audience we want him to look after Lua and we want everything to turn out well for the couple. The two of them are create at creating the il- lusion of true love, excellent acting on both parts. The stunning cinematog- raphy really reflected the beauty of their love; while they are together the lighting is always colourful and bright, creating great aesthetics for the mood of the film, but also making the film very pleasant to watch. The use of lens flares cre - ated a very romantic feel. The symbolism of the sun setting in the final scene was very successful, I feel like it guided the audience into realising that they are not just taking a dip in the ocean, it is the end for both of them. The editing flowed well, and the series of events was well constructed to provide an entertaining story. The editing was not flawless and not as smooth as in- dustry made films however it did not affect the overall image of the film, if anything it helped to establish the charm of Lua. The soundtrack really completed the film and embedded all aspects together. The traditional and classical piano score created a timeless im- pression, establishing the dream-like qualities hinted at through other mediums. Emotive and beautiful, the music complimented the film wonderfully. I am very impressed by this charming and enchanting study into the perils of lost love, an excellently directed and presented independent short film.

I was not expecting much when I sat down to watch LUA at the UK Independent Film Festival. It is unusual to see a film written and directed by the same person in this evolved world of film where the credits have enough names to run for over ten minutes. This is a trait that is now seen as a quirky characteristic of a filmmaker, such as Woody Allen or Quentin Tarantino, rather than a requirement. In traditional student film fashion, the actors were unrecognisable, and there were no specially designed sets or impressive FX, but this film certainly held itā€™s own charm. The pace of the film al- lowed me to appreciate the beautifully captured scenic moments, and emphasise the heart-breaking love be- tween the two main charac- ters without seeming slow. I particularly enjoyed the hospital scene where the quick cuts between Lua and her perspective created a sense of adrenaline, building up to her escape. Lua was portrayed well; we gather compassion for her straight from the start when her Mother seems so dismiss- ive of her and her health. We also see her through the eyes of Tom frequent ly, a perspective that makes it hard to see a fault in the beautifully vulnerable and innocent young girl. The film is framed well, we often see things from the characters perspective, like when Lua first sees Tom when she is lying in the hospital grounds. Moments like this keep the film alluring and enticing rather than a simple and boring observation of the events from an outside per- spective. I really felt for both characters and felt really involved in this film. Amy Spinks was a perfect choice for the character, she has a permanent very innocent expression, but teamed with her beauty it portrays mystery and thoughtfulness rather than fear. Butchy Davy, playing Tom, has a similar caring ambiance, as an audience we want him to look after Lua and we want everything to turn out well for the couple. The two of them are create at creating the il- lusion of true love, excellent acting on both parts. The stunning cinematog- raphy really reflected the beauty of their love; while they are together the lighting is always colourful and bright, creating great aesthetics for the mood of the film, but also making the film very pleasant to watch. The use of lens flares cre - ated a very romantic feel. The symbolism of the sun setting in the final scene was very successful, I feel like it guided the audience into realising that they are not just taking a dip in the ocean, it is the end for both of them. The editing flowed well, and the series of events was well constructed to provide an entertaining story. The editing was not flawless and not as smooth as in- dustry made films however it did not affect the overall image of the film, if anything it helped to establish the charm of Lua. The soundtrack really completed the film and embedded all aspects together. The traditional and classical piano score created a timeless im- pression, establishing the dream-like qualities hinted at through other mediums. Emotive and beautiful, the music complimented the film wonderfully. I am very impressed by this charming and enchanting study into the perils of lost love, an excellently directed and presented independent short film.
