Written and directed by Jaden Payne, ‘Pink is Your Favorite Color’, is a short drama film that explores an anxious young man’s preparation for a date. Jaden Payne portrays the endearing sole character. Set entirely within one location, the short delves into themes of grief and anxiety. A witty, charming and emotional watch.
The 8-minute drama opens with the assembly of a Pink-themed dinner table. We are then introduced to our protagonist, a charming young man, with pink attire, who prepares his introductory speech in the mirror. The narrative examines his skittish vocality and self-scrutiny throughout, which provides comical viewing. A poignant twist to the narrative unravels the young man’s real intentions. A captivating watch from start-to-finish.
High praise to Jaden Payne (Writer/Director/Star) for delivering an outstanding short film with a touching, albeit amusing narrative. Payne’s adorable performance is highly commendable and is certain to capture the heart of the viewer. Cinematography (by Jordan Payne) is of an exceptional standard throughout, coupled with stellar post-production. Sound and production-design are equally praiseworthy. ‘Pink is Your Favorite Color’ deserves high acclaim for both it’s narrative and technical achievements – particularly due to its limited production cast/crew. Highly recommended.
