Quite good, though the silhouetted "boy discovers orb" scene and
some of the incidental music was a bit over-done. Maybe that's par
for the course with these short films though - presumably trying to
show off.

Watching it amongst the episides of Alfred Hitchcock Presents from
the 50s that I've been working through lately is an interesting
comparison between short films that have a similar overall format.

The 2015 movie Capsule might be of interest to people who like the
ending of that film, and low-budget stuff: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3108244/

One thing I liked about it was that it was a complete story. Often short
films just seem to be parts of a story.

True.

Ah well that's where you need Alfred Hitchcock with some silly
props explaining how everything worked out well (or morally
acceptably) in the end. :)
