The Girl Who Faded Away was one of the Official Selections from the Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation & Technology’s 2024 festival that accepted the Filmmaker Mixer Podcast offer to review their work. It is a live action short film that adapts the lyrics to a song of the same name into film. It perfectly conveys the emotions that the lyrics intended to evoke through its visual language. The choice of location was amazing; the forest and the mansion and the green bathroom are all just stunning. I really liked the costume choices for the girl, such as how she wore all white to look pure and out of this world, and how special effects were used at times to make it appear as though she was glowing. The white shawl she wore around her body that flowed in the air as she ran was a particularly effective choice in my opinion, as it furthers that feeling of her constantly fading away and coming back again by bringing her a flighty quality.
