My Take
Borja Cobeaga earns my attention as a Basque storyteller with a sharp economy of craft. Earning an Academy Award nomination for the live-action short One Too Many is no small feat, because the short form punishes every wasted second and rewards precise comic timing. I tend to associate Basque filmmakers with a distinctive blend of dry humor and emotional bite, and Cobeaga, schooled at the University of the Basque Country and still active online, seems to carry that sensibility. Anyone who can announce themselves to the world through a short film has the rare gift of subtraction, and I am curious where he goes next.
