About This Movie

So, 'the promise' from 2016, it’s a fascinating stereoscopic 3D piece that really plays with perception. You have these two guys, their relationship evolves through dance, which is both lyrical and dreamlike. It’s not just about the romance but also the sacrifices woven into their journey. There’s this really ethereal vibe, and the pacing draws you in, making you feel like you’re part of their leap from reality into dreams. The practical effects have a low-key charm, and the way they utilize the open field creates this expansive yet intimate atmosphere. It’s a unique exploration of connection and self-discovery, often overlooked in discussions about contemporary short films.

This film has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, likely due to its niche appeal and the lack of a widely recognized director. It came out in a format that hasn’t been heavily reproduced, which adds to its intrigue. Some collectors appreciate its experimental nature and the way it pushes boundaries with practical effects. The scarcity of physical copies makes it a conversation starter among enthusiasts, and while it may not be on everyone's radar, it definitely has a unique spot in the growing collection of 3D cinema.
