If you enjoy watching short films (and I usually don’t), I ran across an exception on YouTube. While this clip is just under two minutes, I believe the full length of this short called, “We Have Decide Not To Die”, is 11 minutes. Danielí Askill, who looks as if he just a kid, is the writer/director/co-producer of the short film. The film’s meaning is vague, drawing, I guess, some kind of symbolic birth and death allusion, but it’s still very well done and worth watching. If you’re interested in the making of the film, the writer/director is interviewed here.
