Proximity

Great concept, brilliantly executed, and great cast! Music and SFX are top notch and the fact that it was created on a shoestring budget makes this piece that much more inspiring and fun to watch. Ryan and Seth... definitely a team up worthy of anticipation for the next project!

The location and simplicity really make this an overall fantastic piece. The actors have great dynamic and really bring the tension to life. From beginning to end the build is masterfully done and the reveal at the end is well delivered. The visual effects are well done and not hokey or overdone by any means, the fact that you don't even realize that they are in the film at all says everything. Shaky-Cam has been beaten to death but in this context, fits the bill wonderfully and doesn't take away but actually adds to the tension and overall delivery of the film. A definite must see for any indie film makers and a great watch overall. A great film to not only watch but dissect and study, the motivation and direction is A+

Ryan Connolly's newest short film. After the funding for his other short film, Outsiders, fell through, Ryan co-wrote this and went into production shortly after.

Given the circumstances, and how long it took the crew to make this, this turned out REALLY well. A great concept, solid acting, good visual effects, and great cinematography as well. The only gripe I have with the film is the dialog, it really wasn't needed, but I understand why it's there. The audience was easily able to pick up the concept for the story, but the characters IN the story needed to know. Overall, a fantastic film.

There is nothing bad about this short film. The act is amazing and so is the editing and knowing it was made in a small amount of time shows how much Ryan can work under pressure to pull of something great.

The quality of the film and all the props was stunning. Hope there will be more amazing work coming from you because i love watching everything you do (not in a creepy way) so i hope to see more like this and tel in the future.

not only is this film amazing but Ryan is amazing himself. He can make amazing youtube videos and also films and film riot is a great way to improve films without going to film school or university.

'Proximity' is a short film, directed and produced by Ryan Connolly and co-written with Seth Worley. In it, an unknown organisation pits people against each other in a brutal game of cat and mouse.

This short was fantastic. It's visually stunning, and the dialogue is excellent. Todd Bruno and Josh Connolly both deliver strong performances as Jake and Luke, as do the other actors in their various roles.

When it comes down to it, what you've got here is a short film with a reasonably original plot that was written in only a couple of days. You've got fast paced action, you've got great acting performances from all involved, you've got visual dynamite and finally, you've a director who definitely deserves a shot at Hollywood.

If that summary above appeals to you, then watch this film, it's only 10 minutes out of your life, and you will not regret it.

8/10

I had been looking forward to this short film since i am a big fan of Filmriot.This Short film is totally different from their previous short films.

Josh is awesome and his performance is perfect for this film.And Todd as a leading protagonist did a excellent job.His acting was really intense and matured.

I like the visuals in this short film and the Soundtrack is really outstanding. Overall i love this film and i am looking forward this film as a Feature film. Love you Filmriot.
