Short Film: That Very Special Night


Viewed at the 2020 IVFAF. So, this 2018 short by Mark C. Pollock comes in at under 5 minutes and is pretty simple in structure.

Starting with a country road, we see headlights and in the car are Ed (Tom Sephakis) and Sally (Terri Coleman). She wonders whether he is having a mid-life crisis as she recognises the spot… After all it was the first time.

This leads to a conversation around that first time, which touches on gender roles and personal fears. It also becomes clear that the two are married, just not to each other. However, another car comes along and Ed decides to go and check it out, leaving Sally alone… And that’s about as far as I’ll go, for an idea of what befalls the pair then head over to see the film on Vimeo.
