Todd Solondz (born October 15, 1959) is an American independent film screenwriter and director known for his style of dark, thought-provoking, socially conscious satire. Solondz has been critically acclaimed for his examination of the "dark underbelly of middle class American suburbia," a reflection of his own background in New Jersey. His work includesWelcome to the Dollhouse (1995), Happiness (1998), Storytelling (2001), Palindromes (2004),Life During Wartime (2009), and Dark Horse (2012).
Todd Solondz’s first film shot with sound, Feelings is a two and a half minute movie made as an NYU film school assignment in 1984. Solondz himself takes the lead role of a sensitive young man who finds he can no longer endure life without his beloved (Jan Meredith). The film is set to Todd Solondz’s personal rendition of the song “Feelings” by Morris Albert. Cedric Klapisch(The Spanish Apartment, Un Aire de Famille), who included Solondz in his own NYU film In Transit, worked on this production as assistant cameraman.
The sound in this short film is mostly the character talking in a dramatic way, other sounds consist of music which sounds like it has been created by drums which is loud and bold.
This short film gives me ideas of exaggerating the characters if it fits in the genre as it can come across as humorous and leaves an impression.
