Bay For Blood s the 2nd effort I've seen from Harry Waldman (Enter The Room was the first) and it's even better. Waldman seems to grow exponentially, executing better camera angles, and honoring his actors performances, with closeups and solid framing. The relationship between our two stars is solid, and we actually believe they have a past. Once again, budget is non-existent, but that doesn't stop Waldman from telling a great story on film. Waldman is an actors Director, at least, through these two films, and a dream for actors to perform for. The dialogue is juicy and full, and it's left to the actors to carry the story, and carry it, they do. I would love to see what Waldman can do with an actual budget, and hope to get that opportunity very soon. I'll be keeping tabs on Waldman and you should too.
