Movie #3009 ........................."The Red Suitcase" (theatre)

 Movie #3009 "The Red Suitcase" (theatre) The top three in this category could all be a tie for me because they were all done very well, but I guess if I had to pick the top one, it would be this one because 1) I was most invested in the story --- with it, the entire way, trying to think ahead for her, etc.  2) it had the best cinematic moment of all the shorts I have seen for this year --- the very end.... worth taking time to watch. Once you read what this is about (below), the best thing to do is just to experience it and  know as little as possible.  To me, it is an excellent example of a fantastic live action short :   a short scene that is succinct in the telling, cinematically nice to look at, and by the end can blow your socks off.  I give this a 5 out of 5.
