3rd Annual Now Film Festival -Week 18 Finalist - Gravida

Back


A relationship that can only lead to loneliness and hope.

Happy Valentines From Now Film!
Every so often a filmmaker will come out of a small town and have a film that is as promising as Gravida. With a shoestring budget and a few friends, Lucas McNelly tells a story of loneliness and uncertainty better than most of the filmmakers in Hollywood can imagine. Back in the early 90s, directors such as Tarantino and Rodriguez taught themselves film by working in video stores - today we have a new generation that uses Netflix and Youtube as their teachers.

Last year McNelly's beloved blog 100 Films, helped him garner the eyes of successful Hollywood's top minds such as Peter Bart, which in turn helped him get noticed as a future filmmaker.

I'm not seeing the loneliness but more the disparity of this woman, to cover up the past and her action by quickly gaining a dependant.
The characters are a lot like animals.
She sends out a desperate cry and he responds without hesitation
-which shows his need for the same/or he's just a man(haha).
The fact that she's pregnant which means the guy who got "cut" (from the picture) is gone(passed away) and the father makes me wonder if this is to cover him up or move on.

Either way I understand love can be plenty but you may wind up the victim no matter if the person tried to hurt you and no matter what you'll have to live with it's scars
