Jack and Vince have the most unexpected encounter, and the film presents a colorfully entertaining portrayal of the same. Jack’s life revolves around cryptocurrency. He has a loyal following online which hangs on to his every word. He reciprocates their sincerity, but only at first glance until the virtual interaction ends. The reality that thus follows is far from that, though never without humor, a characteristic absurdity, and eccentric details that define the circumstance. The film presents a moment, a brief window into Jack’s life, keeping itself taut and entertaining in its brevity. The visual progression and construction fully support the endeavor, as well as the screenplay. The actors are sharply synchronized and bolster the result. It is definitely a welcome prospect to engage with a longer project or subsequent parts that take us deeper into the world of the characters thus presented.

'Cinefilia' is a ride that is violent and entertaining in equal measure. Chris is a massive movie aficionado and our introduction to his world is immediate as the plot opens with a movie trivia quiz. With him at its center as the quiz-master, two of his friends spar with each other in the face of rapid questions. However, this otherwise-ordinary situation soon takes a bloody turn no one is prepared for, and thus begins the story in all its actuality. The short film moves from one violent event to another, remaining peppered with lightheartedness and effervescence throughout. There is a deliberate attempt to not take itself too seriously, also ascertaining our approach to it as a viewer. As the plot would have it, things spiral out of control, eventually leading the protagonist to one final gory development. When it arrives, it seals his fate irrevocably, while serving poetic justice to the audience in the characteristic, irreverent manner it has maintained all along.
