The Boy Who Couldn't Feel Pain
A film by Eugen Merher

" The Boy Who Couldn’t Feel Pain is an ambitious and big-hearted story that admirably straddles the tricky divide between realism and fantasy. It aims for big emotional swells, and largely earns them, telling a nostalgia-tinted tale that speaks to the larger-than-life sensibility that is core to America’s self-conception.
The film, true to form as a tall tale, starts with a narrator. 16-year-old Annie is new to town and though she comes to play a leading role in the story, first she introduces us to Chester, our titular boy. “He was not the prettiest, nor the smartest guy in town,” she intones gravely, “but he sure as hell was the toughest. For when he was a young boy, he saw something so deeply disturbing, so gut-wrenching, that he stopped feeling anything.” - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi

Nice job all around.
Why did everyone in that town wear the same clothes everyday? The title of this short should've been the town that couldn't smell funk.😆
what camera was used to film this?
I agrée
If they ever do a Hit-Girl movie or tv series and can't get Chloe Moretz Delilah would be perfect for it..
Definitely could see that
great cinematography here
Very good
I’m only 6:12 into this short and already wishing for a entire season or movie 🍿❤
Goes to show, a great story or show doesn’t always need cgi and visual effects..
