Movies don't need to be full-length in order to make people shed a few tears and crack a few smiles – especially when the movie is as adorable and sweet as the animated short film IN A HEARTBEAT. Directed by Beth David and Esteban Bravo and produced at the Ringling College of Art and Design, this tale of teenage yearning is given a contemporary twist by focusing on one young boy’s fear of being outed at school when his heart decides to show its affection for the boy he loves. With the exception of a resonant score by Arturo Cardelús, the film is silent for its entire four-minute runtime, proving you don’t need big words to express big emotions.
