‘Enough’: Caleb Slain’s Oscar Qualifying Short Film
Caleb Slain recently dropped what according to him is probably the most important project of his career and the story it tells is way bigger than anything he’s done.
“A dream. A nightmare. A musical.”
To say this film shouldn’t exist is an understatement. What started as a camp community video at the height of the pandemic is now a 2021 Oscar-qualifier, hinging on footage captured over 10 years.
It stars Nathan Nzanga at various ages.
“All I can promise is it ain’t like anything you’ve ever seen,” says Slain.
It is already a Vimeo Staff Pick.
