Excellent film to my uneducated eye - TV or Feature quality - well done. I like the opener - sound and graphics - simple start - credits make their mark as already stated. I am looking forward to more.

Renegade Films 1 year ago

Impressive. Felt very close to pro quality. Just a few minor things letting it down in my opinion. It was a little obvious this is long story with bits cut out. Didn't feel like the right narrative for a short. Is this intended to become a feature or a TV show? It felt more TV than film to me. Other than that it was just a couple of shots that didn't seem motivated by anything (like the high angle on the girl when he first meets her), the overexposure was a bit nasty and the fades towards the end felt very videoy. Keep up the good work though, I'm sure this will open doors for you.

As a jewish kid raised in Souther Cali, now living in Israel . . I'm especially inspired with your work Jamie! There's no doubt you won't have time to answer a new fan like myself in a couple of years, wanting to do what you do out here in Israel, because you will be too busy and too HUGE by then! This was Hollywood all the way - you should be proud, and i'll be keeping an eye out and rooting you on . . do your thing.

Superb! Kept me enthralled from the first frame till the last! Great job, and the actors were brilliant too. Bravo!
Nayak Cinema 1 year ago

Its a FANTASTIC job. Very Professional! Nice camera work, Cool cuts, sexy motion graphics, edgy performances, especially from the guy who played the dad (DON). I felt like watching a mainstream Hollywood film.

But as a well wisher, I would advice you to work more in the scripting department, which I felt was week; well, there is nothing new story wise or even in the pace in which the screenplay moves; I loved the Guy Ritchie-like treatment you gave in the beginning, though!

But whatever the small negatives are, your short film is a winner all the way! CONGRATS AND BEST OF LUCK FOR YOU, AND YOUR WHOLE TEAM!! Waiting for your next work.
Steven Hale 1 year ago

Was wondering if this was your film school project? If so, did you get professional, technical feedback, and what that feedback was exactly.
In other words, did you have a "Simon Cowell" who gave you criticism, and what was it?
If you could do it over, what, if anything, would you change?

David jones 1 year ago

Excellent short this. touch of a master in the making.. I will def be keeping an eye out for more of your work in the future. Top class.
Only one thing that Slightly bothered me all the way thru, the Dons son is a bit wooden.. Rest of the cast was spot on..

Thought it was really interesting...I didn't like the son as much as I liked the father and his crew. I felt like there should have been a "bigger" Father and Son moment at the end... All in all It is one of the best short films I have seen in awhile...good job

Absolutely loved this! Simple idea but very entertaining! I like how it started out. Absolutely brilliant, will there be a follow-up? I remember Carlo from La Femme Nikita, he made this for me, not to say the others were bad but superb acting

Awesome movie !
Can we hope that there will be a follow-up ? Will it be a serie ? That could be great !

a little rule of thumb, a 14 minute movie shouldn't have 4 minutes of credit scroll
