What can you do with only six lines of dialogue? This short film was the winner of the Philips Cinema and Ridley Scott Ridley Scott Associates "Parallel Lines" competition. Five directors from Ridley Scott Associates produced five short films from the same six line script, then challenged fans to create the 6th film in the series...using the same six line script. The winner was chonsen by Ridley Scott.

Take a look...

    I don't think any 'more' words are necessary here.

    Thanks for the link. One can only hope we see more like this!

    Thanks for sharing shack! Indeed touching however, I found my self going through so many emotions in such a short video. I even found my self shouting WTF at one point, being pi$$ed and then the end just let's it turn all around.

    Thanks again...

    Very cool.

    Your comment about "only six lines of dialog" reminded me of the old story (which is likely not true) where someone challenged Hemingway to write a short story using only six words, and he came back with :

    "For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn."
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I loved the direction of the music as it really brings out the compassion and heightens it in the short .Great use of light too
