The Impact Factor

There is a lot of great things to talk about in this film. First timer Ken McArthur uses his proven life skills creede to cary over into the theme of this film. All of us realizing that we have an impact in this world, no matter how small, or if we can see it. It's a great effort for a first time filmmaker to make an almost two hour film with such heavy topics as drugs, crooked politicians, and the seedy undertakings on the dark side of law enforcement. There are some beautiful shots of Philadelphia, and one very brave shot using a green screen. I won't spoil it here, but major props for even attempting this on a first time film! There are some good performances as well, but hands down Michael Everett Johnson steals the movie every time he enters the screen. I found myself anticipating his character throughout the film!

Excellent and thought provoking movie. This is the kind of movie you I want to watch more than once. I've seen it several times now, and each pass I catch something new.

Have you thought about how every little thing you do creates an impact on the environment around you? Every person you speak to every encounter, every place you have been, and every place you have not men. Every moment in your past, has brought you to where you are at this very moment.

This movie was able to really bring to the forefront how everyone's life is very similar to a choose your own adventure book. I highly recommend this movie. 10 stars.

The Impact Factor fuses multiple storylines into it's narrative that suggest everything and everyone makes an impression in this world. The film is ambitious and big in ways that most indie films won't attempt. Props to Writer/Director/Editor Ken McArthur for not staying in the shallows and looking for deeper meaning in this film. There are a few noticeable small budget imperfections, but there is also plenty to ponder after experiencing the message of this film.

Even with the occasional sound issues it cannot deter from the thought provoking and emotional journey. It makes you question the impact we all have in our lives and inspires beneficial changes...

At our core we all want to make a difference - but sometimes it is the small things that have the greatest impact. Repeat those small things daily and you get the ripple effect.

By the way the choking scene had me in panic mode - wow, did that really hit hard.

Thank you Ken for sharing this story with the world. We need more movies that tell of hope, inspiration and the impact we can have instead of all these doom and gloom apocalyptic tragedies that rob us of hope for the future. You are inspirational!!

An absorbing drama. The story puts you in the shoes of the characters making difficult but important choices. I made the journey with them, and it it's an impactful one. An intelligent and moving film. Well shot with a great setting in Philadelphia. I can absolutely recommend this one!
