Synopsis:
Casey wants to tell Mia she loves her; but it might not be the right time.
Review by Andie Karvelis:
There are so many things to love about this film, starting with the title. It doesn't hit you over the head with what the film is about, instead it gives you a little mystery to ponder. Govind Chandran wrote and directed Ti Amo, Mr. Nibbles and he really understood relationships. Especially that fragile moment in a new relationship where you want to say the "L" word but are frightened to say it too.
The cinematography in this short film was stunning and I really appreciated the clever camera angles. This was all filmed in one room but it didn't feel like one room, it flowed so nicely with the dialogue. Plus the filmmakers, Govind Chandran, Jamie Laxton ( Cinematographer ), Grace Thornley ( Assistant Camera ) and Conor Tychowski understood how to make the colors so rich and inviting.
I have to commend the actresses on their performance ( as well as Mr. Nibbles ) because Kelsey Cooke and Emily Kontu were so believable and engaging. They were a joy to watch and as this story unfolds you feel the angst, the disappointment and then the elation with them. Kelsey's delivery of "rodent" in that disappointed voice had me laughing - because we've all been there.
One of the other things to love about this film is the score, provided by Benjamin Doherty. It compliments all the emotions so beautifully. By the end of this film, you can't keep from smiling. So grazie and ti amo, Mr. Nibbles.
