Lookouts Short Film

David Bousquet‘s Lookouts (2016) short film stars Kelton Roney, Chris Cleveland, Stefanie Estes, and Pablo Croissier. Lookouts‘ plot synopsis: based on a comic book series, “On their final trial as village LOOKOUTS, a troop of young scouts are ambushed by the very creature they were hunting. After a violent battle the lone survivor, Pehn, escapes into the shadows of the Eyrewood, a mysterious and deadly forest that is home to all manner of wild creatures. The most horrifying of all is the Basilisk, a winged titan with the power to turn its prey into stone. This is the beast the troop of LOOKOUTS were seeking, and now it hunts for Pehn.”

Short films are getting better and better are the years progress. Lookouts is Game of Thrones quality. It has a big-budget feel. The time and care placed into the production is evident from the beginning to the end of the film. This short is not populated by neophytes. All the acting is top-notch. I don’t know if Lookouts would work as a full-length feature film but this short makes me want to see what happens next.
