Never Among Friends

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 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 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.

The movie was worth the trip from Edison to Red Bank. I enjoyed every minute of the film and wish the filmmakers and cast a lot of luck in the future. The film had heart and it showed that even if you don't have a big budget, you can still make a high quality motion picture. I hope to be seeing more from these guys. Great job!

I saw the premiere of Never Among Friends last year in New Jersey, and thought that the film was quite an accomplishment, especially considering the restraints and low budget that accompany an independent movie. It was also interesting to be able to see the film before the final editing was done. The director was very open to critiques and was using the audience's reaction to help him figure out the final presentation, which was very cool. While I've read several negative comments on this site, they really have no basis. For a young director and somewhat inexperienced cast, the movie was a great success. It was very entertaining, and well worth my money. Also, and I read this comment several times as well, the actor who played Sean stood out dramatically. He is extremely talented and made his character very believable. I'm sure we'll see him in many more movies in the future.

I just saw that Never Among Friends will be screened in a film festival in Philadelphia, and since it's not on DVD yet, I think I'm gonna make the trip to see it again.
