Shorts on Love (2) Your Place or Mine


Two strangers follow their hearts and instincts as they are led down two opposing paths. Big decisions are determined by little moments: a glib comment, a simple gesture, a meaningful touch can swing the outcome one way or the other.
This short film could've been more accurately titled Your Place and Mine.  It's a brilliant effort by writer Karen Moore and director Jessica Joy Wise, that is, to play out the parallel tracks that a chance hookup takes.  But perhaps the more apt metaphor is that of two strands, that tie loosely at points, then separate in frayed fashion at others. 

Even though they are Annie and Danny in one lifeline at the end, the other lifeline seems just a momentary turn away.

Even though they are no longer Annie and Danny in one lifeline at the end, the other lifeline seems just a momentary turn away.

See what I mean.
