"2 Hours" ( short film )


"2 Hours" tells the story of a unnamed man, thrust into a virus outbreak.  Not only is he having to deal with the loss of his girlfriend, he has to deal with being bit.  Having only "2 Hours" to find other survivors before the virus over takes him, he finds himself struggling with visions of his recently lost love.

The film, written by Josh Merrill & directed / shot / edited by Michael Ballif , is really well done.  With little to no budget, they were able to put together a film that pulls you in.  The acting was excellent & the make up / FX were just right & not over the top. 

I loved their decision to use first person, POV, & wide shots throughout.  Deciding to do that could've been a mess but Ballif's editing made it work.  Pair that with locations chosen to film...you have a visual treat of a movie.

I highly recommend everyone check it out ( see below ).
