I had the honor of meeting her and her husband at SBIFF&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Panel, and found them both to be very pleasant people. I was excited to see a short by Kirsten in the Shorts Program later that week, as I was planning to see another movie featured that night as well. <em>Scooterman<\/em> is a story that is set in London, and stars a struggling writer who pays his bills by (not surprisingly) being a Scooterman. Edward Stoppard gives a great performance portraying a love story involving a triangle between himself, a client Daisy, and her unpleasant boyfriend. Throughout the story, Stoppard develops his character from a wayward lonesome guy to an accomplished writer. As an independent film, I think Kirsten did a wonderful job working with a low budget. Stoppard&#8217;s performance shows that there is talent everywhere, not just on the Hollywood screen.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was Kirsten clever in finding a good lead actor, she also chose to set her film in London. This brought good variety to the Shorts Program. I can visit many locations featured in the other shorts of the program, however I have never been to London. Both the setting and the concept of a &#8220;Scooterman&#8221; was new to me, and I enjoyed the visual education received from watching this film.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of aspects presented in <em>Scooterman<\/em> really gives rise to Kirsten and what she does. She shows great aptitude and talent for the art of film-making that I enjoyed watching on screen. I look forward to seeing more great projects by A Girl In The Film Productions and their creative team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviewed by Katharina Martin.
