New York Minute

Although this was a film short, I liked the fact that the film keeps you on the edge of your seat. Part of the film is shot in real time and I think it really adds to the overall mood of the film. The cast does and excellent job given the time frame and deliver edgy performances. The actor Jack Hodnett character is probably one of the scariest I've seen in recent years. His eyes alone set the pace for the entire film. The shots captured by the cameraman are simple but profound pulling the audience in. The director Michael J. Arbouet does an excellent job of creating suspense in a short amount of time. I'd love to see what he does with a full-length feature.
