What is the optimum runtime to tell a story

Forgive Us Our Trespasses: 14 Minutes to Blow Your Minds – Is It Worth a Watch?

Netflix is a streaming platform that allows subscribers to watch movies and TV
shows whenever they want. The streaming giant has now invested in upcoming
directors by funding them and streaming their films on their site. One such
initiative was Emerging Filmmaker Initiative (EFI), under which three filmmakers
got their movies streaming on Netflix. One such gem that earned its way through
EFI is Forgive Us Our Trespasses.


FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES- WHAT IS THE FILM ABOUT AND WHO IS IN IT

Forgive Us Our Trespasses
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/forgive-us-our-trespasses] is a short featurette
and has a runtime of only 14 minutes, but its impact on you goes well over its
brief runtime. The movie is a testament to what a good filmmaker can do with
mere minutes. Ashley Eakin has really blown our mind, and it took her less than
15 minutes to do so!

Primarily, the film revolves around a young differently-abled boy named Peter.
Peter lives in a Nazi-infested world. Due to his condition, he and his family
are easy targets for terrorists. When things go wrong, Peter must flee for his
life, but instead of continuing to live in terror of the Nazis, he makes the
bold decision to fight back. How far is Peter ready to go to reclaim his
liberty?

Even though the film’s main cast is short, everyone delivers an impactful
performance that makes you appreciate them even more. It stars Knox Gibson as
Peter Hanneke, Talbot as Ms. Weber, Justin Mader as Nazi Officer, and Nathaniel
McParland as Karl.

ARE THE PEOPLE LIKING IT?

Twitter has seemed to be blown away by how a film can be just 14 minutes long
and yet hit all the right spots that even a two-hour movie cannot. The
Twitteratis are saying:
