Love at First Sight

This film combines a charming, light-touch love story with a lovely dash of humour.

In the way that The Artist achieved so much without dialogue, so this is true of Love At First Sight. The music which plays such an integral part is by Cato Hoeben, a young musician creating some interesting and original scores.

Mark Playne,who wrote and directed has honed his film from a fairly unruly beginning to a pleasingly taut, pacey film that has that lovely thing a surprising ending. Love At First Sight is a first film by Playne yet it has been chosen for a run of prestigious festivals.

Loved this short film, completely captivating the acting is great and feels very natural and convincing that it just draws you in. Loved that is is globally universal with no dialogue...but you do not need it as the story is beautiful told through a great score and stunning cinematography and direction. There are not many films that leave you with a nice warm feeling at the end and a huge smile of how wonderful life is. Must be seen!!! I have seen it four times and I still enjoy it as much as the first time. Each time you get to enjoys all the detail and subtleties that make it such a great short...can not wait to see a full film from this director.

What a way to start my day!

I found a link to this video via a publicity release. Out of curiosity, I followed it and was rewarded with 15 minutes of delight. This short story invoked several rapid fire emotions... humor, curiosity, anxiety and joy.

As a male, I have suffered the earnest yearning that this young fellow feels toward a beautiful woman that he spies nearby. Without becoming a "stalker", he carefully orchestrates a series of attempts to attract his new love interest. That's all I can say without spoiling this viewing experience.

This video captures those feelings of the young man and will probably remind all of the viewers of some of their own past love obsessions.

Best film that I can remember !

I would recommend this to any friends who are looking for a nice heartfelt film that isn't too long.

For me personally it was one of he best movies of the year...

I enjoyed it and think you would too.

Love at First Sight is a good film, it's easy to connect to it, a very nice comedy.

And the music is very great.

I'm going to repeat myself WATCH THIS MOVIE.Happy watching.

9/10 star

I just saw "Love at First Sight" screen at the very first Shot on RED Film Festival. It appropriately - even if by a series of unforeseen events - closed the festival on a tone of optimism, humor, charm, smiles, and beautiful visuals. D.P. Graeme Dunn did a wonderful job using light and color skillfully and emotionally, further pulling the audience in and making us comfortable. We even got a taste of an old Film look and feel at the beginning.

I was extremely pleased with this movie and quite surprised that it is basically a first effort by Writer/Director Mark Playne. The story is weaved with no "excess fat" and paced very nicely, taking us from beginning to end in just the right amount of time. The movie uses music so perfectly composed (by Cato Hoeben) that you don't realize until the movie is finished that not a single word was spoken in the entire piece!

Brava!! I look forward to the next project.

Try to catch it if you can at an upcoming Film Festival. They are still on the Festival Circuit.
