A great first effort!

Do whatever you can to see this film! Pate is a post-apocalyptic 30-minute original short that grabs you from the first frame and never lets you go - an amazing tale that will stay with you long after the movie ends. It's about an aristocratic family that is coming to terms with its need for survival. I won't spoil the end of the story, but all the awards this film is winning are well-deserved, especially since I heard the the director is in her 20s and just finished film school at NYU. It may be a low budget film, but it sure doesn't look that way - well shot, well-edited and well-acted. Bravo.
