Wingtips

Marc Saltarelli, USA, 2005, 15 min
In this noir-style surreal thriller, our hero (Alex Boling) seems obsessed with wingtip shoes. Under loose floor boards in a dark attic he hides a shoebox containing the wingtips of his dreams. After a meticulous shining, he puts them on and ventures out into a silent neo-noir world where danger lurks around every corner and imminent disaster grows closer with every step he takes. Soon he realizes that not everyone shares his enthusiasm for his wingtips.
