VOTD: Michelle Lehman’s Marry Me

Marry Me

Michelle Lehman’s Marry Me is a 7-minute short film about “a little girl who likes a little boy and a little boy who likes his BMX bike.” The charming love story was partly inspired by events from the director’s childhood, where at the age of 5, she would would chase a boy around school in a pretend wedding dress (her mother’s nightgown). The short won 1st prize and Best Actress at last year’s Tropfest Australia. Watch the short after the jump.

    That is quite enjoyable! Not to mention the cutest thing I've seen in a long time.

    It's nice to see an original feeling short. I've seen so many in these past weeks that are just blatant copies of different director's styles that it was embarrassing.

    This was great, nice feel, and story. Congratulations.
