FIVARS: Knives

Fiction, 16 min, dir. Adam Cosco, USA

Kelsey Frye’s strange encounter with a door-to-door knife salesman forever changes the course of her life.

Knives is a surreal drama detailing a door-to-door knife salesman’s encounter with a Kelsey Frye, a housewife on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Kelsey reluctantly agrees to watch the Salesman’s cutlery presentation tempted by the promise of a hacksaw that will give her access to her husband’s secret lock box. Unbeknownst to Kelsey, the Salesman has ulterior motives for being there, and soon reveals that Kelsey must kill off the part of herself that harbors jealous feelings in order to move on with her life.

This one really impressed me. It participated at FIVARS recently and had a really great reception there. You can read a spotlight story about the film: http://fivars.net/news/fivars-2016-spotlight-adam-coscos-knives/?relatedposts_hit=1&relatedposts_origin=1236&relatedposts_position=0

I would say, that it’s still hard to find an interesting and low budget tools for 360 storytelling and Adam definitely is on the way to open us some new tricks no one used before. Of course, story is everything, but 360 story is also a challenge. Right use of medium and right use of the story.
