Shallow Water (2017)
Undeniable talent for days.
When the hell is Hollywood going to get their act together and give Sandy Collora a blockbuster movie to make? Why isn't this guy doing this on a much more grander stage with bigger budgets? Len Wiseman, Patrick Tatopoulos, Gareth Edwards, Neil Blomkamp. All these guys have been given shots to direct studio films with far less of resume and background. This guy has been doing this since 2003 and crushing it. Batman Dead End, Worlds Finest, the grossly underrated Hunter Prey and now Shallow Water, which many consider (including myself) his best work to date. The sound on this short alone is worth the price of admission and the visual style and monsters ooze Collora all over the place. An iconic, artistic, stylistic tour de force like none other. Just simply jaw dropping. Tension, texture, color, sound, MOOD and STYLE. Style for days, this guy is the Christian Hosoi of independent filmmakers. Such a huge, huge talent. What can't this guy do? Seriously? Sadly underused. I hope he gets his shot. He deserves it.
