Buoyancy

Great film at the New Hampshire Film Festival. I'm still getting the kinks out of my neck. :)

So INTENSE and RIVITING! Best acting I have seen from John Heard in quite some time and the other guy was fantastic. Great short film.

It has this very eerie quality to it. You are not quite sure who the bad guy is until the end. I won't spoil it.

A lot of nice twists.

Great actors do the simplest uncomfortable thing in a movie it can be so effective. I think less is more. This movie is so simple but also very effective.

It'd be interesting to see where this could go as a feature film. That would be a cool indie feature!

10 stars all the way! If you can get your hands on it check it out! Surratt is an up and commer people should look out for.

Rarely there has been a movie with such a good dark and chilling atmosphere. I even see this movie more as an horror movie than as a thriller because of that. "Buoyancy" is unique in many ways. The movies mood is already set right from the beginning on. The movie starts dark, intense, chilling and mysterious, a mood that is present throughout the entire movie. The mood is set by good camera work and lighting, or better said, the lack of it. The music from acclaimed composer Gareth Coker also adds to the chilling atmosphere.

Unlike many other movies from the same genre, the movie is slow paced and takes it time to develop the characters without falling into some obvious cliché's. The movie is filled with a seriously sickening torture scene, this seriously ain't no kids stuff! Dark and chilling movie that you will never forget also thanks to the ending which I will not spoil for you. A real must see. 10/10

Oh my god! This guy is the New Polanski! Just like knife in the Water. If you haven't seen this flick you have got to find a way. I just got done seeing it at a film festival and was able to talk to the director. Really nice guy. Not some arrogant Hollywood type at all. Very humble and interested in what I and some other excited audience had to say. And what I told him was I have never seen a film that on the surface seems like one thing and by the end is something completely else. RIVETING! I had no idea what was gonna happen. I asked him if they were going to make a feature and he said they were looking into it. I hope so. I wish Hollywood would start taking these independent filmmakers and giving them a shot. If movies were more like this I would be at the theater every weekend. Good job and keep them coming!

I was thoroughly impressed by this film. Especially the acting. I thought the story was finely crafted. It flowed very well and really kept me guessing without confusing or boring me. I try to see as many short films as possible because I think it is a difficult medium to exhibit. As an artist myself I understand how complicated it is to create a piece of art in a limited time. This film has done that exquisitely. I thoroughly enjoyed the directing as well. The pace was perfect and though the dialogue seemed banal at first, it was extremely natural and well delivered by the actors. I have seen it 3 times now and it only gets better. Excellent work!

I already wrote this in the message board but I wanted to write a review because this movie is so rad! As my subtext says....this film is nothing but great. Wish smart wonderful acting and storyline..

i was expecting more melodrama...but it did not go there.

It was well calculated and a VERY interesting ride of story acting and and a twist that makes the short film genre completely take notice! Oh they should that is.. this is truly the best short i have seen in the past 12 years of being in LA.

So do yourself a favor and go see this film in the next film festival it plays in.
