The Gun Equation

By Matthew Weinstein with 6.7

drama · Short Films · english

The moment you interact with the world of the film, it becomes evident that its core underpinnings would be defined by a philosophical engagement. It wants to raise questions around morality, fidelity, the nature of relationships, and the manner in which betrayal (perhaps of more than one kind) gets accommodated within these dynamics. The object or concern around which all of this pivots is a gun.

The inanimate object thus becomes the primary preoccupation of the plot as the protagonist questions what it truly stands for. This, in turn, allows the viewer to converse with the aforementioned motivations of the film, leading them to the developments that push the narrative forward.

The final result exhibits a sincere endeavor of storytelling and performance, albeit with a few rough edges. It is further coupled with camerawork that is marked by deep potential, at the same time introducing you to the welcome possibility of more projects by the lean cast and crew of the film.
