A Thousand Full Moons

About This Movie

A Thousand Full Moons is this intriguing short that feels like a blend of dreams and music. It’s released as part of stay away from dante!'s EP Duizend Volle Manen, and I think that context adds a layer to it. The atmosphere is ethereal, kind of haunting, with visuals that make you feel like you’re floating in a dreamscape. The pacing is quite deliberate, letting the emotional weight of Santiago’s story sink in. He’s this boy trapped, both in his reality and his own mind. The practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, really adding to that sense of magic and melancholy. The performances are raw and genuine, giving it a personal touch that resonates. It’s not just a film; it’s an experience that lingers.
