The two engage in discussion about \u201cLittle Shop of Horrors\u201d and soon the tension rises when the driver gets curious about what\u2019s in the drifter\u2019s bag. Director Wippell has only so much time to tell a story and he unfolds a damn good narrative within the five minute mark, unveiling complex characters, and unique themes set against the backdrop of \u201cLittle Shop of Horrors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What it all means is really left to the imagination until the very end when we find out the significance of the plant and gardening tools.

Wippell has really been on his A game lately, and \u201cUp Route\u201d is another fine short film from the man whose roster shows an increase in skill and storytelling aptitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cUp Route\u201d is another fun film from director Jordan Wippell, the man who is becoming full of surprises as his career progresses.
