Leonard in Slow Motion- A Short Film Review

The presented hook for this short is Martin Starr, known for his roles in "Freaks and Geeks " and "Silicon Valley".  I've never personally seen either show, but the premise of this particular short tickled my curiosity quite a bit: A man in love with a coworker that can't express his affections because of his slow pace of life. His literal, slow-motion, pace of life.

I was hooked within the 1st thirty seconds. The short opens with a hint of pink sky and a beautiful song that together make you release a slow, yoga breath "ah". Within seconds we meet Leonard, running in slow motion, while everyone around him moves at a normal pace. It's hilarious.

Martin Starr gives a very compelling performance with great comedic timing.  He is officially my second favorite slow guy. 

This guy's my 1st:  

The cinematography and production design come together to create some sexy slow- mo porn. And the music, man. The music is good. Take a look-see:

Leonard (Martin Starr - "Freaks and Geeks", "Silicon Valley") exists in slow motion but lives in a regular speed world. When he discovers his office crush is getting transferred to Florida, Leonard decides he must somehow become regular speed to win her heart before she leaves town for good.
