Italian film-maker Leo Foti will premiere his short film Tipping Point at this year’s Cannes Film Festival’s Short Film Corner.<\/p>\n
Also known as Cannes Court Metrage, the festival runs from 15th to 26th May. Tipping Point is Foti’s directorial debut under his L.A.-based production company Seven Waves Entertainment.<\/p>\n
Tipping Point was filmed in Los Angeles and New York and is a 14-minute montage of human existence that converges at one single moment in time. The synopsis is:<\/p>\n
The short film highlights various tenants of a New York City brownstone wherein some are fighting, others struggle with their own humanity, one loses his temper, another wells up with the emotion of single parenthood, all while a couple basks in the intimacy of one another when all of a sudden one simple act of fate shows to each the true meaning of their relationships with themselves or with another human being.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so exciting to become a part of this prestigious international film festival,\u201d beamed Foti. \u201cI look forward to premiering \u2018Tipping Point\u2019 to new audiences, while also meeting other filmmakers and viewing the works of my colleagues as I travel to France for what I\u2019m sure will be an unforgettable experience!\u201d<\/p>\n
