Careful with that Crossbow
Short Film (Full Length) – 2010
This is the third instalment in director Jason Stutter’s successful trilogy of short cautionary tales. The ingredients are simple: playful kids, dangerous tool. The recipe for a comic screen gem? Mix them up. In this film, a boy figures out how a crossbow works with his sister. With the dark wit of a fairy tale and the economy of silent comedian Buster Keaton, Careful with that Crossbow brilliantly exploits the audience's identification with the characters on-screen, and creates edge of the seat tension from what might happen when boy meets crossbow. The film was invited to more than 20 festivals around the world.
... delicious tension.– Dominic Corry, reviewing Careful with that Crossbow for Flicks in 2010
