Who is Elmore Dean? (Short)
“Who is Elmore Dean?” is a showcase for Timothy J. Cox. That’s the quickest description I can give of the film, and the character actor whom I’ve seen in so many shorts and feature films does himself proud in a silent role. It’s a one-man show, but he’s not alone in the movie, because his character’s apartment has a part to play, as well, as Cox’s Elmore Dean, an accomplished songwriter, gets ready for an important day. There’s not a lot of story to Max Rothman’s 6-minute film, but there is a lot of action, as Dean finds that his apartment seems to have a mind of its own, and reflects the anxiety he is going through this morning. We’ve all had those mornings where it just seems like nothing goes right, right? That is Dean’s morning, and Cox and Rothman make it an entertaining and energetic one to watch.
