Ever felt like life was passing you by unnoticed?<\/p>\n
Then the titular hero of Arturo Perez\u2019s endearing 17-min short Dan Miller<\/em> is a man who shares your pain. Largely ignored at work, instantly forgotten by the local barista at the coffee shop he\u2019s been frequenting every morning for the last 3-years, Dan\u2019s life is about to change when he gets sent on an unexpected work trip to Japan.<\/p>\n From Daniel Larusso to Rocky Balboa, cinema loves an underdog story<\/strong> and Perez\u2019s Dan Miller<\/em> follows in this tradition with this subtle tale of an unassuming man thrust into the limelight.<\/p>\n With echoes of the classic \u2018Mr Sparkle\u2019 scenario from The Simpsons<\/em> reverberating through its narrative, Perez\u2019s film was born from the simple notion \u201cwhat would happen if someone was big in Japan, but didn\u2019t know it\u201d.<\/p>\n Funny, charming and downright likeable in equal measures, Dan Miller<\/em> is a film that leaves you both satisfied and wanting more with its open-ended conclusion.<\/p>\n
