Jackals & Fireflies is an interesting short film. It is not bad, but I'd refrain from calling it great or even really good. There is an element of the human spirit that is present throughout it's poetic nature which the visuals and music explore. Though, it feels somewhat incomplete. Maybe that's due to the fact that my expectations are too high based on Kaufman's previous work. This is just a short film, created because Samsung paid for it and there's nothing wrong with that, as it serves it's purpose. The camera work and overall message including the setting are absolutely something that I would love Kaufman to tackle in a future film. Interesting, and at times entertaining (LFGM)- there is absolutely nothing wrong with this film but it really doesn't blow me out of the water either.
