The Backhand
Directed by Ken Amlin
Narrative Short
Canada | 8 min | 2022
When two mobsters kidnap the wrong guy and need to get rid of him before the boss finds out, they’re distracted over the meaning of a forehand slap vs a backhand.
Director Statement
The Backhand is a fun short film that allowed me to play with different techniques of visual storytelling that I’ve grown to love. With inspiration coming from Edgar Wright, Sam Rami, Guy Richie I aimed at creating something that would be as fun to watch as the films they are all known for. We had a blast making this short film and I hope you enjoy watching it just as much.
