Gone Goodbye

Winner of the Film Racing Grand Prix 2009 100 hour film race contest, this short film explores relationships and privacy in unusual and surprising ways.

Directed by Keith Rivers, ‘Gone Goodbye’ is well made as a metaphor for the inner conflict a person goes through when ending a relationship.

Daniel Hayek from Vimeo explains it best:

The balloon is meant to represent part of his own thoughts or conscious. In order to leave this woman he had to separate himself from part of his feelings of attachment, this is why the narrator’s voice changes when he begins to read the note again. His words seems seem unfamiliar and strange because he does in fact love her but some part of him won’t allow himself to be with her. It’s a fairly well told extended metaphor for the inner conflict faced by anyone who has chosen to leave a long term relationship.
