The Neighbor’s Window by Marshall Curry

we always tend to wish for the things we don’t have

A model of economical storytelling.

You can see the dividing line between the protagonists on the screen, which hints at their psychological states

When you put on binoculars, you no longer see what you already have

The dividing line on the screen hints at their psychological states, but this time it’s about the neighbors.

The skull hints at the ending

Classic linear composition

As usual, only the inner feelings have changed.

Marshall Curry
