Checkpoint (2006)
A great short film
7 February 2007
Checkpoint packs a lot into its 10 or so minutes running time. Great suspense, effective music, smart cinematography and above all great direction and screenplay. There are also several excellent performances from the cast which includes several faces familiar to Australian audiences. Set on an isolated country road in outback Australia, Checkpoint presents issues of racism and prejudice within the context of a gripping little drama. This short will definitely have you on edge from the first frame and leave you discussing its nuances long after-wards. I am looking forward to seeing more from Checkpoint's writer and director, Ben Phelps.
