The plot:a young boys life at a new school. The result: a great first film. O'Donnell manages to direct a sharp witty and laugh-out-loud funny film with very little recourse to dialog at all. The whole thing is beautifully shot,slightly surreal lighting and clever camera angles, working together with the visual comedy, make this one of the best short films you will ever see. There is little point in telling you the plot, far better to just get the film and let it all unfold. If he does as well with East is East, this man will go far.
