Collaboratively it was an excellent production.

I remember hearing about the biggest scam in Hollywood, and how this con artist was impersonating Hollywood Executives to get lots of actors in Hollywood and accross the world to give them money, and do all sorts of things. I remember thinking, "Someone is definitely going to make a movie about this!"

Well they have, and I'm really thrilled that I had the opportunity to see it, at the Newport Film Festival. So maybe I'm a little biased because I always thought this would be a great story for a movie, one that would be well recieved by anyone who is interested in anything Hollywood.

Without giving away too much, all I can say is that this movie will not disappoint. It is a MUST SEE for sure! It's so relevant to our time of digital scamming, with a focus on the struggles of artist and the lengths they will go to, in order to create their art. From the production side, it's obvious that this team didn't cut any corners, and delivered a truley entertaining film that will have you thinking about it days after!

If you enjoyed THE SERPENT, KISS OF THE CON QUEEN is a must-see! This gripping film tells the true story of how Eoin O'Brien, an aspiring actor trying to make it in the entertainment industry, was catfished by a con artist impersonating Hollywood elites. O'Brien not only stars in the film but also wrote this fast-paced narrative, bringing an authentic touch to this true crime story because he lived through these bizarre experiences.

Director Tom Waller has crafted a stunning production that feels like a big-budget action movie despite its independent roots. The meticulous attention to detail-from shot composition to sound design-creates an emotional resonance that captivates the audience. The film is not just a thrilling ride; it's an immersive experience that highlights the darker side of Hollywood's casting culture.

Even though I knew the story of Kiss of the Con Queen, so knew the outcome, it was thoroughly engaging from the opening scenes to the ending, and it even kept some surprises. The film was also nicely textured. The actors were excellent and it unfolded methodically and seamlessly.

I especially thought that the scene where the Con Queen reveals that he's doing multiple scams with multiple personae was very effective.

I would have liked the story to delve more into what makes the protagonist so prone to being scammed so completely. My feeling is that it was more than just his alcohol addiction. I felt there was something else underlying. Nevertheless, this did not reduce the effectiveness of the film -- it just would have added a bit more to the character development.

All in all, a fine film and recommended.
