Honest and Thoughtful Short Film
I gave this short film five stars because I really don't know how the star ratings should apply with feature films and small pieces like this in the same place. So...
I was looking for some video of Manson and the Family after reading a book on the crimes through the week. On my way I found this little short film.
I like it. I really do. The dialogue between the the teacher and her students was clunky as all get out, but the moving monologue offered to flesh out Ms. Folger was moving, sincere and thoughtful. Abigail is forgotten, really. She is the other dead woman in a chamber of horrors populated by stars. I've wondered about her over the years, and even tried to buy an oil painting of her once. There is such sadness in her loss that is hard to explain sometimes. I think her life is one of those touchstones in my mind I can go to if I want to turn my thoughts in a certain direction. Ms. Verdugo made me see Abigail just long enough to wonder at a life that could have been.
This short film is very honest. No, it's no work of art, and perhaps its creator will revisit the person and the themes of her work in some larger way. I hope she does. I cannot help but wonder what Ms. Verdugo can do with indie films outside of a small classroom in a church. And I want to find out.
You will like the fifteen minutes you have to give to this movie. I did.
