Lift - Marc Isaacs

A friend sent me a link to this short and within minutes I had fallen in love with it. A superb example of how short film can turn the mundanity of human life into an engrossing and moving narrative.



Filmmaker Marc Isaacs sets himself up in a London tower block lift. The residents come to trust him and reveal the things that matter to them creating a humorous and moving portrait of a vertical community.

I know it is a 20 minute short about people in lifts, but please watch it, you will not be dissapointed.

  1. oh Jordan - this was WONDERFUL! So funny, and then really moving; loved the small Jewish woman, she was fantastic, and the guy whose parents died. This just inspires me to write - that woman who dreamed of the drowning dog and who'd never been in love; that's a short story right there. Thanks for sharing :)
