Review by Andie Karvelis:

There’s an old saying about the devil’s in the details. You can have something planned so perfectly but the details trip you up and in effect, ruin everything. The filmmakers of Rehearsal grabbed that detail loving devil by the horns and essentially laughed in his face.

Every detail was meticulously executed in Rehearsal, bringing to life an entire world that was seamlessly integrated between computer graphics and live action. The CG team of Miya Shen and Stephen Hu are a powerhouse of talent. But that’s just one part of making a great short film, you need a fantastic script.

That’s where Liane Yang and director Allan Shen come in. They created a story that was believable yet futuristic. When the Tiara virus threatens the entire population on Earth, other planets become the hope of continuing the human race.

So creating an environment on another planet is no easy feat. Clothing, sets, plant life, technology all have to be envisioned and created. Right down to the drinks and the style of your dishware. Director of photography, Vanon Li made certain the entire film had a futuristic look and feel. Plus every actor did an incredible job keeping you on the edge of your seat until a twist ending you don’t see coming.

Hopefully this is just the first in a series of films involving August and the Tiara virus.
