The realm of ‘Vultures’ is constructed with a refreshing uniqueness of voice that remains steadfast throughout the entirety of the film. It presents a space inhabited by only three characters, each more powerful than the other in the absolutely stunning performances and bodily movements they bring to life. 
The viewer is presented with a dystopic world, at the brink of its end where two vultures fight over what is left as the last vestiges of existence.
The heavy symbolism and metaphors continue to heighten the tension within the narrative which carefully controls and maintains its energy and intensity. 
The actors, weaved into an equally complementary screenplay and visual development, ensure that the many intentions of the plot achieve a fitting portrayal on camera. Though not all metaphors would be grasped at first glance, demanding a deeper engagement on behalf of the viewer, the film conveys each emotion and sentiment that it means to with ease and success.

Vultures | Short Film Nominee

The conciseness of the narrative allows it to present the viewer simply a moment in the protagonist's life. As a man sits by himself in a park, sipping his coffee, he is met with a strange note. A riddle written on the piece of paper suggests the possibility of winning a prize in a game that he is now part of. Exiting the game is not an option. 

He continues to move from one note to another, securing himself significant amounts of cash in the process. However, both the viewer and the character before them, are unsure and unaware of the hows and whys of the situation - it simply is. Not investing too much thought in what came before, and what might come after, the man continues, note after note, until met with a shocking revelation. 

The narrative's intentions, in the process, come across as attempting to invoke a story of excitement as well as an uncertain fate of the protagonist. At the end of it, what will truly be the meaning of the entire endeavor?
