An award winning dramatic short film about a man who goes to Vegas and loses all his money in search of starting over in life. The short is 100% written and produced by Matthew Kalish, an independent filmmaker. The short film seem to be mid-budget (which would still be very small for a short film). The film has been distributed simply on Youtube and on Matthew Kalish's website as it was not intended to make any money.
The story is told in black and white, although it is unclear as to why, however this decision does allow for some even more striking wide shots. Overall The Plan has a very simple narrative that at points I felt wasn't quite enough as the film became a bit slow at times. However what the producer of this film did well was allow for locations to be reused, and for some parts of the narrative to not have to be shown (e.g. the casino scene).
I feel what let this short film down most was the narrative as it simply wasn't strong enough, however in terms of the way it was produced, a short film such as this would be plausible to make as a student with limited resources.
