Statistics

Really exciting movie. It is, I suppose, a drama, but you could also call it a horror movie, in that it is about the horror of our fragility and the randomness of death. Very scary. By the time you see the pregnant lady and her loving husband, you say, "oh, god, what are they going to do to her." I found that the movie colored my vision for hours afterward, and made me want to spend as much time with my family as possible. The movie has a protagonist, but it also has a Hero, a character who Does the Right Thing. And it also has a Villain, an evil man with a death wish.

In short, this movie is about how you feel on your worst day, but with a glimmer of hope. Really well done, but you have to tolerate being really upset.

Congratulations for acceptance into competition at the 2007 Silver Lake Film Festival! For anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to see this film - now is your chance. This movie is moving, daring, emotional, and very relevant to the world we live in today. I hope everyone sees this movie for the truth it speaks, and for the ability it has to make us look at how we live our lives and perceive the world. Huge kudos to the director, writer, producer and actors in this film for putting all their heart and passion into creating the kind of movie that we forgot this town was capable of making. I encourage everyone who sees this movie to pay it forward and tell everyone they know.

I really enjoyed this movie. Kent Harper, who stars in the film, is absolutely terrific. I'm afraid of leaving someone out, but I also really enjoyed the performances of Jody Jones, Costas Koromilas, Shelley Mack, and especially Marilyn McIntyre and Stephen Wozniak (no, not the Apple guy). The plot summary that's provided on this site is right on. The movie really makes you think about how important it is that we not be so self-absorbed, but instead look out for each other and take care of each other. The plot very much reflects the values and personalities of Frank Robak and Scott Rudolph, who have wanted to make this movie for years. I hope this one gets into all the major film festivals, and when it does, you absolutely must see it if you get a chance.

It had a great message to deliver and you will definitely receive it by the end of the film. You will get into your car differently. It just touches you in many ways. It will shock you and possibly make you shed a tear. Considering that this was a low budget film and took a long time to complete, I was still captured in the realistic scenes and stunts. Statistic's score was very good with bands like Maktwain and Joee corso, who helped add to the film's mood. Great actors like Mikael Paul, Kent Harper, and others helped make Statistics an award winning film. Indeed a great job from everyone who put together this film. _GHOST_

"Statistics is literally now one of my favorite movies and I anticipate getting to see it again. I am still moved when I think about the movie and how it played out and the character development, acting, and beautiful cinematography. How the accidents and high areas of conflict or pain, so to speak were replaced with a dissolve or a nice cut rather than your typical "realistic" gore or vivid accident. I am really taken back. Its everything I preach on my jackets or in life...life isn't fair and it isn't easy but it depends on how you look at it and there is hope. I really can't say enough about it and the crew you teamed with and I was HONORED to have been a part of the screening and the party and meet everyone. I am just babbling now but like I said I can't say enough about it and I still get choked up thinking about how this is the message I have been dreaming for in a film. I have not been moved like this since a Requiem, Amelie, or Last Minute. All these movies moved me in a different specific way but in a relative sense the power of each film was the same whether it be depressing, loving, or inspirational. This film is on that level. I think this movie has the potential to change the way people think in a positive light. It was weird because right before I came to see the screening I was watching TV and there were commercials for Bloodrayne, and Underworld and I thought about Kill Bill and Aeon Flux and especially The Matrix how all the movies nowadays PREACH how the ONE must take over or change the world...but no movies speak about WE about US about TOGETHER. That is what sets this movie apart. It tests people, it questions people to think about those around them and not just themselves...I think this movie has potential to be tremendous."
