The Big Red Bastard

Who doesn't love over the top, nostalgia inducing comedy?! Cooper was born for this role, and I want to see more! More noir!

He's a tall glass of water with some Big Red B and vitamin C mixed in.

Ben killed it as the typical pushy reporter, trying to get his scoop, and Kelly sold the sexy dame bit so well. The whole cast was great!

What a great short film. Cooper Barnes proves he has so much more to offer than the incredible Captain Man. He can definitely hold his own in a gangster noir film. I loved the use of the splash of color and will be sharing this out with my friends for sure. Good times!

This was a fantastic short and something you can watch again and again! You are drawn right into the story from the beginning and you have to love the classic black and white feel with an intentional splash of color when needed. This movie will blast you right into a different time period and I'm a big lover of older movies so this was perfect! Add in the great acting and well done script and you have yourself a winner in this short. Grab a martini or a glass of scotch and sit yourself down on that sofa for a break from todays reality with this film <3.

Cool as hell. Even after the reveal it was a fun ride all the way through. Loved the archetype characters and the noir world. Visually impressive.

Cooper Barnes shows that he's more than a modernday superhero. He's a smoking, hard-drinking, fast-talking, gun-toting tough guy - who could sidle up next to Mitchum or Bogart at a speakeasy bar.

This was a GOOD movie I am proud of you. I really love this movie and I love you you did a good job writing it and it's director did a good job too and I really love this.
