The Donut

‘The Donut’ is a story that not only operates but also thrives and soars within an absurd dark comedy space. The film is about a single exchange between two men over a donut. However underneath it rests a simmering emotional situation, about to overflow and spill all over any minute.

One character has got the other a donut and is now completely preoccupied with the anxiety of ensuring it gets eaten. The performances and the ensuing chemistry bring this circumstance to life in an entertaining, amusing manner. It is only some snags in terms of the overall production value, especially relating to sound, which if ironed out in the future, can help an endeavor of this kind achieve more than it already has.

The screenplay and narrative both exhibit engaging storytelling and notable potential, two aspects that should definitely be expanded upon in more projects.
