Leaving Queenstown

Irish director Shaun O. Connor's short film Uisce Beatha ('Whiskey / Water Of Life') was researched, written, cast, shot and edited in one month, with a total budget of less than 300 euros. It's a simple tale, based on a true event that happened 100 years ago.

Here is O. Connor's website.

Holy cow, this is the best example of minimalism in the telling of a story I've ever seen, thanks for posting.

Wonderful, thanks very much for this! (Though actually, it happened over 100 years ago....)

Very enjoyable. Such a good sense of time and place packed into such a short film.
