The Impact Factor

This movie takes the viewer on a journey. It explores the impact every little decicion can make on the broader community. When corruption and crime are involved the results can be devastating. Some parts are hard to watch so it's not for the faint hearted. Congratulations to the producer, Ken Macarthur, along with the cast and crew on creating this powerful impactful movie. I look forward to seeing what you create in the future. This is a fantastic debut into the world of filmmaking and I suspect we haven't heard the last of you. This was a moving and sometimes confronting view of life in Philadelphia.

There is a lot of great things to talk about in this film. First timer Ken McArthur uses his proven life skills creede to cary over into the theme of this film. All of us realizing that we have an impact in this world, no matter how small, or if we can see it. It's a great effort for a first time filmmaker to make an almost two hour film with such heavy topics as drugs, crooked politicians, and the seedy undertakings on the dark side of law enforcement. There are some beautiful shots of Philadelphia, and one very brave shot using a green screen. I won't spoil it here, but major props for even attempting this on a first time film! There are some good performances as well, but hands down Michael Everett Johnson steals the movie every time he enters the screen. I found myself anticipating his character throughout the film!

This is a powerful indie drama about a handful of Philadelphians who's lives and those of others are influenced by the decisions they make. The reality of big city politics and the struggles of the working class always make great dramas when well executed. If you enjoy dramas that present individual struggles in the context of social integration and politics, give this gem a go.

Having been born and raised in Philadelphia this film really resonated with me. Great story and characters. My wife and I watched it twice. Ken brings a great perspective to the challenges of inner city life. One of things that really stood out to me is the consequences of all our actions. The writing I thought was spot on, and the characters were very believable. We did really like the location shots as well. It was fun as well as a roller coaster ride thorough the story. Looking forward to what's next. Well done ! Our takeaway is; It's true, you make am impact whether you want to or not. Don't miss it !

Loved to dialogue. Just felt that the story was complex as it transitions to different point of views with different characters as well as the camera angles and audio being a bit hard to comprehend. The quality of the film is still wonderful and can't wait to see what's next to come!
