No need for dialogues in Rockfish (one of Tim Miller’s earliest directing works) to convince the viewer, the quality of the action speaks for itself.
You don’t have to be a river work to tell great science fiction stories. In Short Fiction, we are interested in the best short films and short formats of SF. Animation or live-action, known or more discreet works, French or elsewhere… All are welcome and will make you dream of electric sheep for a few minutes.
Rockfish : deep sea fishing
The name Tim Miller probably means something to you. In addition to having directed the films Dead Pool and Terminator: Dark Fatethe American is especially one of the main names behind the Netflix series Love, Death and Robots
.
But before landing on the most famous streaming platform, Tim Miller carried out a number of projects, including the short film that interests us today: Rockfish.
Mute like a (big) carp
Produced in 2003 (and it shows, obviously, but at the time the slap must have been there), this short offers a discreet scenario – at least as discreet as the dialogues of the characters who compose it. Finally rather character, because it is a question of following a man and his mutant familiar on a desert planet, obviously there to hunt something.
The action, well choreographed and staged, is not lacking during these 10 minutes of viewing. Rockfish shows without forcing what Tim Miller and his studio Blur Studio are capable of. It is not for nothing that the work will be nominated and even rewarded several times. If today this short may seem dated, it remains a good time to watch and offers the opportunity to discover the aesthetic universe of the director.

The American service is not the most popular in the world for nothing. With a content offer enriched every week, always optimal video quality and a very refined user experience, the platform is an essential choice for entertainment. Our only regret remains the constant increase in subscription prices, which makes the service a little less attractive than when it was launched… Fortunately, the number of series and films compensates for this increase.
