Chasers (II)

Watched at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

I tend to not review short films as much but this short from Erin Brown Thomas is an interesting take on the youth comedy with fun performances and tone. Shot using a long one-take sequence without cuts, it's pretty impressive on the production levels and direction. Navigating through the journey of a girl going through the moments to chase her crush, while meeting with various characters and silly and dramatic moments makes it an interesting watch.

I love the concept of this short and really enjoyed some of the dark themes it explores within a short span. Especially with how Thomas approaches on how young people act and the modern generation without feeling forced and out of place. I believe Erin Brown Thomas has the chance on becoming big someday with television series or comedic movies and I do wish Thomas for the best for her career.
