Aah. What a nice little short from Skitch here. This is the ultimate feel good film. And quite inspiring too. Bruised consistently proves that you need nothing more than a good idea to get a film off the ground, and even the notoriously bad direction and scenery of the past (and present) can prove this. If Bruised had been a full-length, I'd bet money on me crying like a sissy girl by the end of it. Bruised also proves there is no excuse for the laziest directors out there to not make anything. Bruised is short, snappy and sweet. When the newbies come in, just introduce them to Skitch.

Interesting and lovely but nonetheless, a shame that Bruised could not have been explored further. If however, this was the point of the short, then I missed it.
