You gotta see this...

This is a very moving and tight drama that has a very meaningful subtext below the pleasing exterior trappings.

Top notch directing, writing, acting and super cinematography. I have no clue why this did not play at Sundance. This film is head and shoulders above anything else I saw at Sundance this year.

Great first time effort for Takacs with great acting by Mesler and Cadman all tied together with super cinematography by Santucci.

You have a bunch of sleepers here, look for a lot of them to make it big in the future. 9/10 is my vote.

Better the Second Time Around

I had first seen this film here in Buffalo at a local short film festival, and I just saw it again tonight at another short film festival where a short I did was screened. I really despised this film (becasue of its content mostly) the first time around. But now that I saw it again it actually is a pretty cool short.

About a guy who uses his magic abilities at an open mic sort of thing, and wows everyone. We then follow him through meeting a girl and so forth...

The films content is soso. The effects are well done however in the wand levitating and what have you. The acting was good for first time actors, but what I really appreciated this time around was the cinematography.

The film is shot beautifully, plain and simple. Chris Santucci did an excellent job with the look of the club, and the guys apt. Each shot has the mystical whimish feel the film was going for, and helped to play up the content. As a whole, it almost had this very, soft feeling too it, due to the tones and lighting.

Again I better appreciated this film after seeing it again, and even if you hate the content still you have to give credit to Santucci for his beautiful framing and shooting...
