Never Among Friends

I was born and raised in Freehold, New Jersey, and I was thrilled to attend the premiere of Never Among Friends and see the town of Freehold immortalized on the big screen. The acting, music, directing, and story were all fantastic and I wish everyone who worked on this independent film the best of luck in the future. I was amazed how great the production values were considering the director was only 20 years of age and that the budget was so low. The only complaint I have with the movie is that it is too damn short! At 80 minutes, I wanted more and more but ended too soon. I wonder what JMA Films and Blue Parrot Entertainment plans to do with the film. I bet we will see lots more of Never Among Friends in festivals and maybe at alternate screenings in and around the state of New Jersey. One can only hope!

I must say, coming out of the minds (and pockets!) of some young independent film makers, this is quite an accomplishment. Kudos to the director, writing team, and all cast and crew who came together to really start JMA, and all the others involved, on their quest for greatness. Minus some unavoidable bad effects, some sound problem, and campy acting here and there, it was definitely an enjoyable film...Kevin Interdonato really pulled the film together and the soundtrack really is great....I had the opportunity to see NAF at the premiere and it was great to see such local talent coming together like that - and the two PACKED houses would certainly impress even the most famous of Hollywood-ites....Congrats to all!!

I had the rare opportunity to view this film after one of the director's friend's made a copy for me. I must say, I was mighty impressed with the film. I don't understand why it hasn't hit direct to DVD yet because there are so many hundreds of bad movies out nowadays and you would think a great film like this would get some respect it deserves. I hope that some film companies are reading this... Get the movie on DVD! As far as the acting goes, all of the cast was great in the film except for that pizza guy. Talk about a bad actor! Anyways, technically speaking the film crew did a good job on such a low budget. I will see this again at the Atlantic City festival. That Kevin guy is so hot.

I had the chance to see Never Among Friends at Penn State in Erie, Pennsylvania in December of 2004. I must say it was an amazing production. For the amount of money they put into the production, you can tell that everyone was deeply involved with making a great film. It is rare to see such an amazing display of talent in all areas. Sure the film was shot on BetaSP which is a professional video format not as good as film, but it was better than most of the indie films and some of the major motion pictures released nowadays. It would be nice if Jason Allentoff and his production team got some more notice for this flick.

I must say I enjoyed every aspect of the production from the story to the acting. From the way it was shot to the way the story flowed. It was great. The music was also very enjoyable.

I can't wait to buy a copy of this flick. Write to Hollywood and lobby for NEVER AMONG FRIENDS to get a DVD release!

I really liked Never Among Friends. It was a movie that made you think about real life. I think the style of the way the film was shot was good and added to the feel. It seemed to me like I was the fifth friend in the circle of friends in the movie. Everything about the movie was great and I really hope it comes to video. I will be the first one to get it if that is the case.
