    Great work. have you seen "Ruby"? Another (Very different) take on the Red Riding Hood story, also on Shooting People.

    Beautifuly done. I loved the psychoanalytical undertones in the relationship mother/daughter. As well as moving, also very seductive and mysterious.

    Sorry. Not too enthusiastic about this one. Lots of dull moments and bad color-grading/ cinematography (non-matching shots, etc.) really testing my patience...

    I really enjoyed the imagery and the metaphors in this piece of work. I also thought that the Wolf, although this could have been tacky and spoilt the film, wasn't, it had a donnie darko kind of unreal nightmare quality...
    i thought the intro with the girl walking was a bit too elongated and personally would have made that a teeny bit shorter...
    BUT 5/5
    BRILLIANT

    Beautifully shot and executed, with wonderful atmosphere, but I find the original tale a lot simpler to understand!

    I'm not often compelled to leave long responses, but this is a really good short. With respect to other films on the leaderboard, this was actually convincing as a film experience rather than on purely intellectual level. I liked everything about it. At first I was skeptical because the red ring hood story has been tackled numerous times, best of all in The Company Of Wolves, but this felt fresh and I admired its lack of irony. Great work all round.

About this film

Once upon a time, cloaked in her favoured red hood, Little Red Cap set off to Grandmother. But soon she was drawn away from her designated path by what the surrounding woods had to offer - mysteries, beauty and the Wolf.Red, now a 40 year old woman, still bears the same fears, guilt and anger as she remembers the day her life changed. Creating a new red hood for her daughter, she struggles to make the ultimate choice as to whether or not to pass on her identity and in turn her fate.
