The Telegram Man (2011)

A very moving short film. It tells the story of the telegraph man in an Australian town during the war, and the loss experienced by those left at home.

James Francis Khehtie has crafted a beautiful and very moving short film with "The Telegram Man". Unlike a typical short, this one is very cinematic, has some amazingly fine acting and has a very nice budget-- as the costumes and period look of the picture took a lot of effort to achieve.

Watched this the other day, came across it by chance. Well, they crammed more feelings, emotions and heartfelt sadness etc in the 13 minutes or so this plays for than you would get in a 2 hour dramatic movie.
