SHORT FILM: In a society where companions unite with a finger trap, a desperate man goes on the search for a partner. After a long struggle, he inserts his own finger into his trap, uniting with himself.  

Hi Tjmohr,

I'm not at all knowledgeable about shorts, so please just take these as my thoughts on what I read!

• Do you mean the Chinese finger trap type thingy?
• Your logline seems pretty solid to me - your main character is in search of a mate - something everyone can relate to.
• I like the idea of a society uniting with a device that literally binds people together... I take it this is presented a metaphor rather than a practical device?
• I love the idea of the man inserting his own fingers into each side and finding he can be complete with himself - it gave me a really warm feeling.
• "after a long struggle" is the only element I thought you may consider looking at - maybe after multiple rejection? after bigotry? something a little more concrete?

I can see it presenting well in a super-stylised way... maybe even as a dreamy animation. ?Love it.
