The Impact Factor

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.

Having been born and raised in Philadelphia this film really resonated with me. Great story and characters. My wife and I watched it twice. Ken brings a great perspective to the challenges of inner city life. One of things that really stood out to me is the consequences of all our actions. The writing I thought was spot on, and the characters were very believable. We did really like the location shots as well. It was fun as well as a roller coaster ride thorough the story. Looking forward to what's next. Well done ! Our takeaway is; It's true, you make am impact whether you want to or not. Don't miss it !

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.

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!

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!
