Thirty2

The film is visually stunning evoking the style of German Expressionism. It's compelling the way it gets you in the mood of the era in a sinister atmosphere. It has a very good story expertly directed by Tim Luna who created a memorable short film that I could watch again and again. Harrison Jones gives a remarkable performance that is both sinister and magnetic. The cinematography is top notch and is refreshing when B&W is well done and justified like in this film. There's certainly love invested in this film and it shows so kudos to the cast and crew and I hope they keep making films such as this one. I was certainly hooked from the beginning.

This was a beautiful take on a poetic short story by one of the original greats in the world of storytelling and poetry. It was captivating and intriguing and I thought it was very well made! Great work! Creative and unlike anything I've seen. Great actors and well done sound design. Absolutely beautiful and stunning! My only criticism would be....wish it were longer...but the original story was short so that's no one's mistake. I loved it from beginning to end and want more. Please do more! So artistic and so cool! I think black and white is very brave and risky since it generally gives the impression that you're hiding imperfections. This film doesn't give that impression as it fits the story and is very well done. Good job!

Edgar Allen Poe is always on the edge. The use of Black and White to create mystery and give the viewer a sense of traveling back in time worked well. It feels as though we are in the authors head as he wrote his famous short story Bernice. The color pop makes a full circle statement. What a period at the end of a crazy story. You captured the essence of Poe well.

This short shows the thin line that keeps humanity in check... or is it? The amazing thing about this short is how it plays with imagination and reality. What an interesting look into the mind of Edgar Allen Poe. This film should do well in the short film festival circuit.

I recently had the pleasure of watching the film "Thirty2" and I must say, I am absolutely thrilled. From the captivating storyline to the masterful execution, this film is truly a gem. One unique aspect that immediately caught my attention was the decision to shoot the film in black and white, adding a timeless and artistic quality to the visual experience.

What truly sets "Thirty2" apart is the skillful exploration of the interplay between dreams and reality. The seamless transitions between these two realms kept me on the edge of my seat, blurring the lines between what is real and what is imagined. The film skillfully weaves a tapestry of emotions, leaving the audience questioning the nature of perception and the boundaries of consciousness.

As the narrative unfolded, the resolution at the end left me craving for more. The cleverly crafted conclusion not only tied up loose ends but also left room for interpretation and contemplation. It was a satisfying yet tantalizing conclusion that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll. Bravo to the writers and director for creating a storyline that is both intricate and thought-provoking.

"Thirty2" is a cinematic triumph, showcasing the filmmakers' prowess in storytelling and their ability to create a visual masterpiece. The entire cast and crew deserve hearty congratulations for delivering a film that leaves a lasting impact. I highly recommend this movie to anyone seeking an immersive and intellectually stimulating experience. With this film, you can certainly be proud of your achievements. Congratulations!

Though there is a little slo-mo overkill, the camera work, lighting, and score are provocative. The visuals evoke that "What does it all mean?" feel, heightened by the slo mo use. Some scenes worked in slo-mo and feels planned in the shoot speed. Other slo-mo scenes felt manipulated in post-production and weren't as pure and smooth. The piece has a nice visual poetry to it and promises to be an interesting and haunting story narrative. The casting is average but works well with a pitch trailer or sizzle reel. I think the music and sound effects work well, especially, filling in for the lack of dialogue.
