Directed by Daniel Kaufman, starring Luke Visagie, Erin Markey, and Wolfgang Douglas

”Cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra  uses a single shot for the entirety of the film, placing the viewer in the perspective of the child. Each moment is filled with heightened stimulation, communicating a child-like feeling of confusion mixed with wonder. We at Vimeo were especially taken by the visceral grit that “Runon” conveys.”

“From the sound and the score, that come and go and give us such an insight into the boy’s perception of the situation and what he is focusing on at any time, to the outstanding cinematography, we live the film through the boy’s eyes, seeing and feeling as if we were in his shoes.”

“Shot on 35mm, the film serves up dream-like visuals, that float across the screen like memories and ultimately give the film such unique flair.”

“In my mind, the true star of Runon is Adam Newport-Berra, the cinematographer, who continues his fantastic work after films such as The Last Black Man in San Francisco (arguably the best-looking movie of 2019). Filming the short in one continuous take and showcasing all the grime and grit of the bus station late at night, Newport-Berra and director Daniel Kaufman expertly convey that with every second Luke and his Mom waste, danger creeps closer.”

“As a reserved Luke gets progressively more restless and confused, Adam Newport-Berra’s cinematography strikingly imitates Luke’s emotions. …Given the fabric of this story and all of the emotions it entails, the single-take is a pertinent method to capture the young boy’s journey through the seedy bus station. Like a child’s imagination, the free-flowing camerawork imagines no limits.”
