The Calling (2004) Online

The film is very mysterious and dreamy. Even though it is very short, the music was great and maintained the atmosphere from beginning till the end.

The actor was pretty good, yet not sure about the mood of the overall atmosphere.

Interesting edits and lighting throughout the film.

For a quick and interesting look at a good combination of music, acting, and directing, check out this short film.

What else has the music writer done... want to check out his other work.

This is a very good short film...It makes you think about the fragility of life, and the limitations we place on ourselves. What heights could we reach if we didn't sabotage ourselves with thoughts of worthlessness? The direction is top-notch. Subtle, yet in-your-face. The supporting performance by the guy who answers the phone is just great. He really makes you wonder what he's thinking, all in the way he uses his eyes.

The director played the main character. He's thinking about killing himself. My guess is that he feels he's over-weight. It's possible, he is big here.

It's clear that Malhotra is a gifted filmmaker. I look forward to whatever he does next.
