Firefall: An Epic Family Adventure

Enjoyed the film,and will put it on my cult classic list.Loved the shots of Yosemite. I thought the film quality was good.The ranger characters were great, they all did a great job....funny.I love cult classic films, some of which are B flick category.Usually will find in these kind of films material that goes off the beaten path. Gotta like originality, and Firefall does a good job of that. Definitely a family film, and the characterization of the family groups were good,particularly liked the Wisconsin family, and the rock climbers. Really enjoyed seeing the film at the Crest theater in Fresno.A great venue for this kind of film. Look forward to seeing more work from this group in the future.

This film is absolutely amazing!! Not only is one of the most hilarious movies I've seen in a long while, it will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. The actors in this film are phenomenal and the editing was spot on! Some of the visuals were breathtaking! You should all want to see this film!! :) Matt Sconce is brilliant in his directing and editing. There was not a weak performance in the bunch. Some parts had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Gregory Tharpe did a great job as the lead in this film and I look forward to seeing him in many more things. As well as the Rangers! So much fun!!! Rate this movie! See it when it comes out!! You will not regret it!

While I may watch the occasional sitcom, I am not normally a comedy movie type person. That being said, I will get a copy of "Firefall: An Epic Family Adventure" once it finally comes out on DVD.

I was happily impressed with "Firefall: An Epic Family Adventure," as I had seen some previews and was actually expecting it to be the typical over-hyped independent movie that tried too hard, overly filled with crud humor and looked like it was filmed by a novice, and almost didn't go to see the movie. I am SO GLAD that I didn't listen to myself.

While, I do feel that one potty joke in particular lasted FAR too long (could easily have been half the length and still felt too long; you'll understand what I mean when you see it), the rest of the potty humor was generally well timed and didn't try to push the shock level.

If you enjoy comedies, feel good movies, and good characterization with great writing; you will enjoy this movie that one could essentially call, a grown-up's version of a family movie (as in designed for the whole family but that a parent can enjoy more than say a young child would, bucking the trend).

My wife and I attended FIREFALL An Epic Family Adventure and were so happy. Firefall was about five groups of people visiting Yosemite National Park to see a last showing of the historic flaming ember 'firefall.' The cinematography was breathtaking! The camera movement was fluid and added so much. All of the characters were round and whole, and we found we really cared about them. Director Sconce's use of bright colors throughout the film added crucial vibrancy. Solid dramatic portions were interspersed with the comedy giving a real roller coaster ride of emotions. The lead actors were fantastic and I particularly loved the characters Stanford James (Greg Tharpe), Hugo Armstrong (Michael R. Tweedy), and the rock climbing Scots (Paul Pavelski and Ryan Hoagland). The score was beautiful by composer James Mierkey, who scored Sconce's last film, STRICKEN. The edit was crisp and perfect, in my opinion. The crowd exploded into laughter over and over, and I sat in awe as we all applauded and cheered the action numerous times spontaneously. You would just recover from a gut wrenching laugh and the film would hit you again. People in the room were crying from laughing so hard. Sconce added funny animal footage to the action all through the film. After seeing the film, I now want to travel to Yosemite National Park myself to see its wonder. Director Matt Sconce took an award winning script to amazing heights in FIREFALL. It was so very entertaining. When leaving the theater I chatted with an older man who said he had never in his life laughed so hard at any film. I guess that says it all. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is I know IMDb knocks those out of the overall vote. Go see FIREFALL! Go see it! Go see it! Go see it!

Never before has there been a low budget indie that is as ready for a theatrical release as "Firefall" is. Everything in this film from the the costuming all the way up to the acting is absolutely flawless. Matt Sconce cinematography is absolutely stunning, especially when you find out it was all shot on a DSLR. I challenge everyone to try to figure out which scenes were shot with the Red and which scenes with the GH2, I guarantee you won't figure it out. "Firefall" is a perfect example that indie film is still relevant and deserves more attention. Thank you Matt Sconce for making such an amazing film. And to distributors out there, you better get excited about this film, because any audience who sees this will love it. Get it out there.
