Hearts of New England

Having watched the first season several times, I can say this low-budget web series has a real spark in it. This series chugs along with a valiant heart that never stops pumping out the best in its actors. It's quite obvious how much the cast and crew care about this project. The performances of Johnny Aday and J.R. are superb. A true example of how you don't need and bunch of bells and whistles to make a quality show. I say "Keep it up"!

As an actor and writer myself I always look for new independent projects and for actors and filmmakers to pay attention to. J.R. Fortin and his team have crafted something truly special. While the technical aspects are not perfect (although I would go as far to say that most first seasons of a show have things they need to improve on) The acting across the board is pretty stellar and the writing is what made it for me. My biggest hope is that I can become part of this show and join in on what Maine Event Films is trying to create. Congratulations to the entire team.

Showed my kids (15m) (16f) episode 4 "Lights Out" and now they're stoked. Fortin really knows how to construct an epic fight scene. Reminds me a lot of the fights scenes in John Wick. Season 1 was a little short but I appreciate what's been put out so far.

I just finished the first series and I must say , it's a rather unique series drenched in depth, character, and colour. With an impressive set of writer(s) and great actors, this series quakes with confidence. It's lovely to see something good coming out of the low budget film scene today. A soaking example of amateur film making at it's best. My husband and I are loving it and J.R. if you're reading this, please make series two!

Overall, the acting is impressive (especially from Kris Salvi's character), the script is well written, the action is fantastic, and the characters have believable chemistry. I would recommend it to anybody that is sick of "samey" crime-drama and wants something fresh and new.
