IMDB Page
Rain Rain is a cute, wondrous little fairy tale that hearkens to the daydreams every child has. In this case a little girl finds a fantastic laser gun her father keeps in his office and spends the day chasing an imaginary plane through the house, wrecking havoc and having incredible fun all the while. Great camera work, sound editing and lighting make for a world of few words but a childlike simplicity that will bring a bemused smile to the audience’s face. While in its rush to be so cute and over the top the story may lose itself, never does the short lose its greatest asset, its youthful wonderment at a fantastic, if dangerous, new toy.
