"My mum said the smoke would change color when it happened… I often wonded what that would look like…" This short film is a bit more somber and introspective than the usual comedies and horror we feature. After the Smoke is a short film made by Australian filmmaker Nick Waterman, and it's finally available to watch online after first premiering back in 2017 at the Berlin Film Festival and other fests. The short is about a young man who attends a rodeo at a remote outback mining station town – and "bears witness to something he will never forget." Featuring the voice of Sam Reid as the narrator. It was shot in B&W (by cinematographer Velinda Wardell) and has some incredible detail. A comment on Vimeo says it best: "Every image on display here is deeply felt. I look forward to seeing what you show us next." Hopefully more soon.
