The Moment After

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.

I must say that I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this "gay" film. Now, after seeing the film I can honestly say that I hate the fact that this film has any "label" other than "outstanding". Seeing this movie from the eyes of a "straight" man, I can say that the movie really touched me. It gives the audience an amazing insight into life and the opportunities that knock on our door everyday. In a world where so many people are starving for love, this beautiful movie reminds us that often love is right in front of our faces and all we have to do is open our arms and embrace it. What I really love about this movie is that it's themes are universal- black, white, gay, straight, male, female....whatever! I take my hat of to Mr. McCullough and I hope we'll soon see more of his incredible and courageous vision.

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

a great achievement from a fresh voice. technically mesmerizing. it is so difficult to tell a story in a few minutes. The Moment After achieves this successfully. There wasn't a moment of wasted time. Tightly edited and tightly scripted. The nudity didn't hurt either.

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
