What a relief it was to see Shooter after watching so many other disappointing shorts. This film had it all. A great story, superb directing, and a strong cast. 20 minutes is all you get. Its not easy. The filmmakers seemed to have put a lot of effort into their production values. Not once did I feel like I was watching something amateurish. At the same time, it wasn't overly slick. Mr. Jeffery did not say to the audience "okay you are in the ghetto now". He didn't have to. I feel that this director can do any genre. Most of all, I think I was relieved. I was relieved that it actually held my interest . I was totally engaged from the get-go. The filmmakers didn't toy with me or use a lot of gimmicks, which I guess is what the majority is doing these days.
