Look forward to the feature!

The project "Kissed by the Devil" was a well directed short setting up a feature length to come. I enjoyed this story which kept me wondering why these events unfolded the way they did and of course ending with a surprising twist. The story ultimately focuses on the unity and bond of a family that experiences an unfortunate tragedy. Great job writing and camera work! The film was shot in the Dallas area which ultimately displays the range of talent and opportunity for all filmmakers to come. I very much look forward to seeing the feature presentation which will truly allow even a deeper view into each character in the film. Great job!

A beautiful, heartfelt drama, and very refreshing...

This movie was so powerful with powerful performances by some amazingly talented actors. The relationship of the lead female Kadijah Karriem with her brother Sean Baker was beautiful to watch, with a beautiful performance as the loving but real best friend by Karen Malina White. Very well written drama by Michael Brown and directed beautifully with real natural and raw performances leading up to a shocking ending...but it doesn't stop there..it is now about to be a feature length movie, allowing us to dwell into the inner depths of the characters cores which is perfect as you want to see more into their lives. Beautifully directed utilizing the beauties of Dallas, Texas, this is a movie that will be hitting at the heart strings..don't miss the last 2 minutes!

Great short film from a rising filmmaker...

As always with any of M. Legend Brown's films, the story, characters and dialog are immediately intimate and very real.

The acting was extremely solid in this film top to bottom, lead by such established episodic TV veterans as; Shaun Baker, Karen Malina White and Victor Williams. Khadijah Karriem, who played the lead was completely engaging and perfectly cast for the role.

The supporting cast members all brought depth and subtlety to M. Legend's outstanding writing. Cinematography and directing were top notch.

The entire production makes you want to see more. Not only about this story, but any more that M. Legend Brown has to offer. A wonderful filmmaker who's star is rapidly rising.

Lovely Film

M. Legend Brown has created a beautiful piece of work. The acting is superb and the story has depth and meaning. While the short did not do the story justice, having the time to really tell the tale of these two kids managing to survive a horrible event will make for a fantastic film. Developing the story to its full potential will provide viewers with an important tale that will move them to tears. The title of this film part of the mystery of the story. What actually happened that night to wreck these two kids life, is subtly told with sensitivity and tenderness that is surprising given the subject matter. Love is at the core of this drama, and once the secrets are revealed, the surprise is that you feel so much for everyone in the story.

Gripping!

Very well written piece which is capped off by excellent acting! It will keep you on the edge of your seat to find out what really happened. After viewing the short film it will make you want to know more about the characters and their history. Surprisingly refreshing in these days to have a film like this that speaks deeply to the heart of man through trials and perseverance. Can't wait to see this on the big screen reaching to the masses and speaking up for those who do not have a voice. Mr. Brown has done a great job combining not only the great writing, but with excellent cinematography and great acting... No doubt this will be a film many will speak about for years to come!
