A Primera Vista

A Primera Vista (At First Sight, in English) starts off with an old man on a bench. He looks around the area, sees a romantic couple, and is suddenly on the lookout for a potential lady friend. He meets a few women, but one in particular may try to catch his eye.

(240p quality on YouTube, but it has English subtitles as captions. How about this adorable short film about the love story between a Teatro Lambe Lambe puppeteer and a mailman? Or what about this SFW film of a geriatric couple looking over the Kama Sutra?) Continue Reading →

Lovely film deserving of a slow clap. If you’re interested in knowing more about this short film, here’s a video on how it was made.

(This one’s available with English subtitles. By the way, here is a film by the same director, and it’s one that also features an HR-related role, though more on the termination process. Here’s another film with another interviewee, too.) Continue Reading →
