Small Ransom

Great. Enjoyed story line. Especially loved CAtherine Leong's performance! Directing great too. The suspense had a twist that I did not figure out. It was a good surprise. Catherine carried the story excellently. She did not give away anything. It was a finish at the end that was not expected by the viewer. Catherine's acting was top notch. I would like to see her play a part on the TV show revenge or nice, she would be an addition. She could hold her own with all those actors. The punch line of this short was very goo. The casting and the directing was right on. The handling of the props were professional and so much was done with a minimal of props yet was a great short.

I'm biased because I'm in this short film, but I have to say that the writing is excellent and the performances of my co-stars are grounded and believable. The direction was sharp, it was shot and edited well and the experience of making it was fantastic! The project was overseen by Bobby Moresco at UCLA and helps it stand apart from other student-made short films.

My only criticism is that it's not available to the general public, save for the pieces that make it into the various actor's and crew-members demo-reels.

But keep an eye on everyone involved on this project, you will be seeing great things from them in the future!
