THE GIFT - GABRIEL ROBERTSON (2015)

Written and directed by Gabriel Robertson, The Gift was long-listed for the 2016 Oscar after its success on the festival circuit. The Gift is an historical drama short about a young boy choosing his 11th birthday present. Will his choice change his life and perhaps the course of musical history? Well, it would have been odd to make a film about an absolute nobody so one can rest assured the boy grows up to be someone of some import. Although essentially a British (Scottish) film, it was shot on location in Tupelo, Mississippi, if that gives you any clue.
