U

As the film was shot in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada I've had the opportunity to meet and work with some of the actors of U. Sebastian Maclean as Hannibal was definitely a stand out performance. I've also have the pleasure of working on a set with Nik Mils and being one of the first people to see U. Some of the actors of U have been in local short films and have delivered some top notch acting. I can't say enough about Simon Duval and Angela Cullins as good people and as actors(Keith and Crissy).I've seen their acting evolve and I wish them nothing but the best in their film careers.

Yes it is a low budget film but a testament as to what Atlantic Canadians can do.

Although the subplots in this film were a bit underdeveloped, the acting was solid and this film had a very good main story line. The Hannible and Laurence characters play well off of each other. Also, the supporting cast put forward some strong performances.

Despite the fact that the first scene of the main story line (the pool scene) is not very well shot, the remaining content of the film gets consistently better. There was a definite personality to the performances that these lower budget films often lack. The sarcastically self-centered character of Hannible was particularly interesting to watch, as the actor portraying him allows us to wonder if the character might give into a sense of guilt, although this never actually happens. The other less flamboyant characters play strong subtle performances, which create interest contrasts and dynamics.

As one who appreciates low budget independent film, I feel this is a project worth having a look at.
