‘The Masterpiece’ stands out for the theatrical quality it brings to life in its visual progression, and ties it with an unrelenting and unstoppable staccato tone. As the stage is set for the drama to unfold, we are introduced to the protagonist, Cristian Fredrick who plays himself in this short film that packs the journey of a life in under ten minutes. From being diagnozed with a terminal illness as a teenager, to becoming a therapeutic painter, the narrative portrays the humongous distance covered in between by the artist.
The story unfolds to reveal within its folds debauchery, excesses, but above all, the insurmountable desire to survive, to overcome the obstacles, irrespective of how Herculean they might seem.
The overarching message that seems to tie the final result together thus becomes one about grit and courage, the reminder to not give up. It becomes the celebration of a journey where the the masterpiece is not something external, but internal and indeed what you make of the self, what you make within.
