Aright. I just finished a Google meeting with a client, did some exercise, then decided to hop in the shower, regular day right. Nope, Instagram algorithm got me. No jokes they did. For the last two weeks, I’ve been searching and looking for independent film production works, so I could learn because I am invested in the culture of film, especially writing. I love writing. Okay, yeah, you probably knew that.
All jokes, After the shower, I decided to get on my phone and log in on Insta. You know that apps is an addiction. After scrolling for a few minutes, I stumbled on an ad, a video to be exact. It got me from the first word, I did not understand it, but I liked it, it was vernacular. Ad from Skrrskrr_Ltd, no jokes. That's their name, I love the ad I clicked got linked to their page, so I could view the full video, they're promoting their first film I believe, it's called Intsimbi, I see It can be viewed on Amazon Prime Africa, so I open the app on the TV and funny enough I found the movie, I mean it's a short movie made my Africans, so I will support.
The movie focuses on a young guy named Funny. He does not have any. He has just purchased a Red Mercedes-Benz. He drives around the neighborhood just like an average man would when purchasing his first vehicle. The story focuses on him and his car as he goes on an adventure with his friends.
Well, I love the movie, I really do, a 19-minute-long film, let's say 19.30. I’ve just checked on prime, the story is well written, it wants us to believe we the viewers are the passengers that's where I got lost, really we only get one or three shot from the back-seat, I would have everything focus from the perspective of the back-seat, which would have given more debt and mystery to an amazing story, the script had less dialogue, which was great it let the actors communicate a lot with their faces which I loved.
My favorite shot happens when our main character cries while driving after a kidnapping happened.
The film only has three characters. I love everyone. They all did an amazing job. The cinematography was fire, the ending while the main character is in the car, that shot, I cried. That was epic.
The film had a twist which I didn't see coming. I must say it's on par with the best, great storytelling. I will continue to watch the movie for a very long time. It's inspiring.
