Short Film Review #5: "Brink"

      Brink is a very unique love story. In this film Jeremy is in love with Evelyn Saint, whom he has known for many, many years. The world they live in is beginning to run out of gravity thus causing an eventual extinction of the human race. Jeremy feels the need to tell Evelyn of his love that he has had for her ever since they met in the fourth grade. He writes her a letter revealing his feelings and leaves it at her house. She finds it and they find their way to each other. They spend the last moments of their lives together as they prepare to float away in their world of no gravity.
     The film does an incredible job of telling this story with very little dialogue. Ultimately, the film is simply an unfolding of events once we find out that the world is ending and that Jeremy loves Evelyn.
