Sometimes the main character isn&#8217;t always the conductor of the story. It&#8217;s not the person standing in the limelight that drives the plot, but often the people who place the spotlight on them who have\u00a0anchor\u00a0roles in the production. Because of the limelight&#8217;s\u00a0ample advertising, we might find ourselves accrediting the center of attention such as the main actress, the highest scoring player, the wealthiest\u00a0entrepreneur. With that being said, these publicized roles are not greater nor lesser than the more subtle\u00a0roles; they are equal. Every element of the work forms a network with elements dependent upon one another,\u00a0bringing them to their maximum potentials. As Liza helps Zsofi find her voice. Zsofi helps Liza harness her leadership skills. Besides the context of the entertainment industry, someone who brings out the best in another\u00a0demonstrates the ideal\u00a0friend. Although Liza is highly regarded as a vocalist\u00a0and seemingly unaffected by Miss Erika&#8217;s maltreatment, she initiates the movement to bring justice to those who are afflicted. In this short film, Liza encompasses all the qualities of\u00a0a good friend. Someone who takes your concerns as his or her own to attest to your best being, who seeks to understand why\u00a0you are not acting yourself, who will not let you be defeated by a\u00a0challenge&#8230;that&#8217;s a good friend.<\/p>\n<p>Overseeing it\u00a0all, the excellence was made possible by director\u00a0Krist\u00f3f De\u00e1k and his team. This is why I greatly appreciate the Short Film Academy Awards; those behind camera are put in the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8259\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unknown-1-1-300x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unknown-1-1-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/Unknown-1-1.jpeg 318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hungarian short film directed by\u00a0Kristof Deak &#8220;Sing&#8221; explores the life of a young Zsofi as she transitions to her new school.
