Ballistic

Let me just say that as a filmmaker, I'm always blown away by Ryan Connolly's short films that he makes.

When this released, I had high expectations, and within the first 3minutes it exceeded the expectations!

Writing and directing was brilliant, the acting was excellent, the cinematography was well shot and each frame looked beautiful, the editing was well done, the score was awesome and the pacing was just incredible!

BALLiSTIC is a heart-pounding, edge of your seat, exhilarating ride from start to finish. Ryan Connolly has outdone himself with this production, and it sure as hell blurred the lines between independent and Hollywood. From BALLiSTIC's amazing stunts to its incredible high end visual effects, this short film is something to just sit back and "Awe" too. Even the comedy at the very end of the film's credits was genius, incredible work from Ryan and his team. The way Ryan can manipulate a story to the point were you feel glued to your seat begging for more is amazing. After this spectacle I feel It's right that the entire Film Riot team get prepared for that feature film everyone has been waiting for *Hint* *Hint*. Well Done Film Riot, well done.

I very much enjoyed this short. Theres a grey area between Hollywood and Indie shorts where this sits. It's action and pyrotechnics are done to perfection, and with the fantastic performances by the actors and surprisingly good editing, it had me sitting on the edge of my seat.

These guys are amazing considering that they started right from the lowest end of the industry. I take my hat off to you Ryan and team!
