The Moment After

Just recently saw the film at the New Festival. It was a very well told story. Great acting, colorful characters, beautifully shot. It held me from the first shot, running me through the full gamut of emotion in a mere 13 minutes. Brilliant! Quite a promising start for the talented young McCullo

I was totally blown away by this film. Without giving anything away, it was the heights of exhilaration and the depths of despair all rolled up in one. Quite a roller coaster for the emotions. I look forward to what Gerald will do next!

This gem grips the viewer from the first moment of it's thirteen minutes. It is directed with a sure hand and wonderfully executed, with powerful imagery and superb acting. Notable also are the cinematography, editing and sound design. McCollough's glimpse into a life not lived is poignant without being didactic. It delivers it's message with heart.

This movie kept me guessing. I kept trying to discern what was beneath the action. The flashbacks offer insight without giving away the story. I was completely caught by surprise. The fast pace of the movie compells the viewer to be cerebral, yet intimacy lurks throughout the film. We bounce between joy and sorrow and become reminded of those we love as well as the crazy friends who love us. Then as the mood turns we are blasted by the tradgedy. There are very few of us that don't know someone who has befallen such a tradgedy and many of us have indeed asked ourselves "I wonder what went through his/her mind." This film explores that and the deep sorrow of ...the moment after. A great story

This was a really moving and emotional short film. The acting was excellent as were the production qualities. I would recommend it to any festival looking for quality programming. I am looking forward to seeing the future endeavors of this film maker.
