SUMMON A FIEND | Omeleto

A young girl tries to summon a friend.
SUMMON A FIEND is used with permission from Eleanor Cho. Learn more at eleanorcho.com.
Hazel is a little girl who is having a hard time making friends. People think she's weird, she says, and her writer father isn't much help, being weird himself. She has a hard time summoning up the courage to be brave enough to approach new people, and she feels very lonely.
But one day she finds a book in a library with a spell that she thinks will help her find a friend. She does the ritual but finds that she's misread the word "fiend," therefore summoning the demon Dantalion. Irate at having an 8-year-old as a master and desiring to free himself from servitude, Dantalion decides to help Hazel in her quest -- and discovers the power of friendship in the process.
Written by Pimvenus Clark and directed by Eleanor Cho, this charming children's fantasy short spins a tale about being brave, having confidence and making friends. Told with steady, graceful patience and respect for the feelings of children, it has clear and steady storytelling and emotional directness that seems simple on the surface but doesn't shy away from the pain of its main character's dilemmas and travails.
This is a film about and for children, and its visual language is accordingly bright and clear, with vivid lighting and colors and deliberate, well-constructed shots that eschew elaborate camera movements, instead engaging the eye with whimsical production design and sets, along with the occasional special effect. Hazel's world is recognizable to ours, but it is portrayed with a patina of childhood enchantment that should both assure viewers and spark their curiosity.
Within this ordinary but heightened world, the demon Dantalion enters in a cloud of dark smoke and flashing light. Surprisingly youthful and snarky, his interactions with Hazel are contentious at first, and the writing and performance find gentle humor not just in his unusual name, but at his disbelief in being summoned by a little girl who is prone to misreading "fiend" for "friend" in gothic font. There's also humor to be found in his blunt, perfunctory attempts to find Hazel a friend, which have the opposite effect of driving people away.
Actor Ian Richards as Dantalion has a terrific connection to Hazel, played with adorable sweetness by Ireland Richards, who. He has the tricky balancing act of playing a drily sarcastic, put-upon demon who doesn't like kids, all still maintaining a rapport with his young co-star. Though he may say mean things at first, there's an underlying respect for the young girl in both actor and character that comes to the fore as a true friendship develops between them. Even as Dantalion helps Hazel believe in herself, summon her courage and approach a new friend, he comes to care for the little girl -- which makes their inevitable parting all the more bittersweet.
With its gleaming brightness and clarity of direction, SUMMON A FIEND could be nestled alongside the classic shows and movies of Disney and Nickelodeon. But instead of leaning on quips and antics to engage its younger viewers, the story has a gentleness of spirit and calm respect for its character and audience. It accomplishes the aim of making seemingly chaotic and scary emotions and situations clear and manageable, as well as reminding its older viewers of the value of kindness, helping others and believing in yourself -- lessons that never grow old, no matter what age we are.

If demons are fallen angels, did they have free will and did they choose to rebel against God? If so, then they also have free will to return to God. This may indeed be a story about a demon choosing to become good again. It makes sense that Dante-Lion put the book in the library in the hopes of finding a friend or maybe even a spirit guide.

This was such a lovely and touching film! The little actress was the cutest child! Bravo to casting her! I appreciated how Hazel was honest about not having friends. So often parents will say that their child has friends and they don't. The short film was very positive and encouraging. Friendship begins with hello, you must reach out to others! People don't always approach you. I would feel comfortable sharing this with a child. The language was appropriate!

The way they are described, many of them do not seem to be specifically malicious by nature. his is what is said of Dantalion: The Seventy-first Spirit is Dantalion. He is a Duke Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man with many Countenances, all Men's and Women's Faces; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one; for he knoweth the Thoughts of all Men and Women, and can change them at his Will. He can cause Love, and show the Similitude of any person, and show the same by a Vision, let them be in what part of the World they Will.

The demon didn't help her. She helped the demon.

Okay, raise your hand if you think this could run for a season as a mini-series and have you laughing out loud and melt hearts,!!

I think this is the cutest demonic summoning I've ever seen.

[@danieunderwood7665]

Thats cool. They have jeans in hell. I really liked the short tho. That girl is freaking adorable. I wish they made the demon a bit more demon-y but besides that, freaking awesome. I would watch this as like, a show.

[@wordsofcheresie936]

I'm guessing that it was budget restrictions that stopped him from being more demony.

[@gaburieruR]

@@wordsofcheresie936 Not so much, some Lemegeton's demons, when summoned and controlled, aquire a more "normal" appearance.

There is nothing good about this film. Why would you show this garbage to a child? Brainwashing them into thinking it's okay to play with demonic books/spells & see demonic entities as harmless fun things? Shame on you.

[@BlazingOwnager]

20 years later: The girl he introduced her too would influence her to come a murderer 10 years later. She would then ascend to her throne with the unholy powers of the dark crown left to her. She now rules hell on earth. *Omen music plays*

I can't believe that I would recommend this film to my daughter to watch a demon as a friend..this is so cute, very fun to watch

I like the simplicity and the lack of a sentimental or exaggerated plot.

[@deio977]

Such a hearttouching story about friendship. When you bound to a special friend, you bound him/her for all eternity....

[@jakepullman4914]

The most heartwarming tale of demon summoning I've ever watched.

[@sak5864]

2:35 her reaction is so cute!! Gawd! She was brave for 5 second (a little more than that, but yeah)

[@azmisazmazingworld]

This girl is such a cute an amazing actor! Love her 💗

[@davebauman4991]

Is her speech pattern native to the greater Seattle area? Another child, Desmond, on HiHo kids speaks similarly.

This relationship could melt the Winchesters' hearts.

When you take into consideration Dantilion's abilities are to control minds, the ending makes sense.

"Please stop hugging me..." I'm dying over here.

That severe shade is the reason she doesn't have friends.

He did not ask her to play cards against humanity 😂😂😂

Poor demon got his first taste of doing something good. Now he's going to petition to be promoted as an angel.

[@jadedmonk7001]

"Stop hugging me." 🤣

Imagine having this book

[@JW-qx1fq]

This was great. Such a refreshing take on summoning a demon

[@JESUSisGODperiod]

How can anything involving the summoning of demons be refreshing? Ridiculous.

[@JW-qx1fq]

@@JESUSisGODperiod I watched this again 2 yrs later and it's still refreshing. Different strokes for different folks ;)
