Honor's Half-Life (2024)
Directed by Robert Flowers this short film stars Kyra Wellington, Alex Petrovich and Greg DeHetre. A former soldier and his daughter go into the woods hunting a man.
You can see what this short is trying to do it just does not do it very well at all. The acting and action are especially weak in this one. Sorry to say not worth watching.
1/5
Bowery Waltz (1897)
Directed by William Heise this is an early short film. Two people dance imitating being a drunk couple.
Plenty of space is left for Jesus here. May be loses a little bit in the medium and age. I am sure the act was more entertaining in its time.
2/5
A Street Arab (1898)
Directed by William Heise this is an early short film. A boy proto-break dances.
Pretty cool dancing for the period. A fun little short for sure. Decent image quality.
3/5
Fifth Avenue, New York (1897)
Directed by William Heise and James H. White this is an early short film. A simple shot of a busy street in New York.
Similar to many other street films of the era. Image quality is not as sharp as it could be, forgivable given the age of the film. Fine for what you expect.
3/5
What Demoralized the Barber Shop (1898)
Directed by William Heise this is an early short film. Women showing off a bit of leg disrupt the activities of a barber shop.
The framing of the shot for this short is not great, the woman are too small in the background to make it clear what is happening. Image quality is not the greatest on the version I saw which does not help matters either. Not that great.
2/5
The Ball Game (1898)
Directed by William Heise this is an early short film. We see a clip of a baseball match.
Due to the poor image quality and placement of the camera relative to the action it is a bit hard to make out what is going on at times. Too much happens in the background while larger shapes are in the foreground. Not the best.
2/5
Amy Muller (1896)
Directed by William Heise this short film stars Amy Muller. A woman dances for the camera.
Not the most intricate of dance sequences, still pretty decent. A fun little piece of personality captured for posterity. Solid for the era.
