SHOELACE THE FILM

a short film by John Paul Fischbach

Five year old Tristan cannot play with the older kids if he cannot tie his shoes.

He becomes determined to conquer the deceptively simple task after he wakes from a comic nightmare vision of being an adult who never learns to tie his shoes.

This sweet feel good film honours this moment of achievement in all our lives.

Scene 1 -It’s all fun while your laces stay tied.

Scene 2 – Walk of Shame

Scene 3 – Practice, Practice, Practice

Scene 4 – Shoelace Hero
