For Milo

The art of micro short storytelling is truly challenging. The best micro shorts are emotional and aim to deliver a strong message. For Milo does this exceptionally well-without any dialogue, even though there are two actors.

The film opens with a young woman writing a "get well soon" card, clearly meant for someone she loves named Milo. We're never told who Milo is-a friend, partner, sibling, parent, or someone else. Another character is then introduced, adding depth to the emotional impact of the story.

Without a single spoken word, the ending is deeply moving and reminds us how important our loved ones are and that we should spend more time with them.
