About This Movie

Bonfire (2018) is this intriguing short that really gets under your skin. It’s all about two teachers navigating the tension of their unspoken feelings while chaperoning a college theater party. The atmosphere is carefully crafted; you can feel the weight of those quiet moments, the uncertainty of budding love. Based on Andrea Capere's poem, it dives into themes of vulnerability and longing without needing flashy effects or a big cast. The performances are subtle but resonate deeply, leaving a lingering emotional impact. There’s a rawness here that feels authentic, making it a unique addition to the short film landscape.

Bonfire has a limited release, making it somewhat of a rarity among short films. Its intimate nature and poetic foundation attract collectors who appreciate films that explore emotional depth over mainstream appeal. The scarcity of physical formats adds to its interest, and while it might not be widely known, those familiar with it often seek it out for its unique take on love and connection.
