A Harlem Boy Lugs Something Shocking To The Countryside In This Film

Bag Man is a irksome burning of a short film , an introspective tale of a boy from Harlem who ditches schoolhouse one day to hale a occult bag out to the rural compass of upstate New York . But the whole time we ’re dying to be intimate : What ’s in the bag ?

Jonathan and Josh Baker wrote and channelize Bag Man , which is a attractively shot film even sovereign of its wages . ( It helps that the short is shot by Oscar - name cinematographer Nicolas Karkatsanis . ) We ’re invited to form an impression of the character based on his reactions to the humans around him , and where he chooses to jeopardize — and then wonder why he makes the decisions he does at the end .
