The Taste of Friendship

This was my favourite of the finalists last night - I really loved it, and the use of Symphony No. 7 at the end was brilliant in adding this baroque sadness to an incredibly surreal story. Loved it overall!

Blending creepy sci-fi absurdity with a touching story of friendship, managing to convey a sense of loneliness that one might call "Peak Lockdown" without even referencing the Lockdown, and ending in a way that's so dark but so hilarious - this paradoxical film totally deserves its title as the most "Incredibly Strange" of the 48Hours.

The Taste of Friendship is one bizarre little film, but I got sucked into this sci-fi and enjoyed the experience. Nice work all-around on the production. Lockdown loneliness is a real thing. I appreciate that you've found a way to simultaneously address a serious issue and make a light-hearted, sci-fi comedy out of it.
