Short Film Review: VAPOR TRAILS. Directed by Matt Jenkins

Mandy has just given Jethro an ultimatum, quick vaping or else. His friend Chuck thinks its going to be easy to quit.

Review by Andie Kay:

This short film is an over the top comedic look at addiction, support groups and helpfully unhelpful friends. Written, directed and produced by Matt Jenkins, Vapor Trails stars a cast of zany characters that Jethro ( portrayed by Dan Perrin ) navigates while he is trying to quit vaping.


The storyline was well put together and had some very funny moments, especially during the therapy group session. One of the things I thought was seamlessly well done is the vaping news brief on the television, the masking/insert/overlay the filmmakers used to make it look as if it was broadcasted on TV was great.

Randy Traxler handled the cinematography and it was beautifully done, everyone was lit really well and the clarity and coloring of the film was gorgeous. This was a light hearted and fun comedic film.
