Short Film: ‘The Landing’ – The Twist Will Blow You Away
This short film from Perception Pictures and director Josh Tanner is a beautiful, well-made little science fiction short film about a crashed space ship. There’s a twist at the end that will rock you. The acting was great, the production value was quite high, and over all the whole experience was quite enjoyable. It runs a little longer than a lot of short films you’ll see, but it’s a highly engrossing experience and you won’t even notice the 17 minutes fly by.
Really can’t recommend this short film enough.
