The Fixer

Excellent short! Started out by quickly captivating viewers. You're already asking yourself, "who is he?" "Why is he there?", and so on. As it progresses, you're still trying to piece together clues to the opening scene and you're left wanting more and wanting to understand the characters and their pain. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing!

The film with its dark element kept our attention throughout to the point when the film came to the final scene it left us wanting more!

Iconic LA tropes draw you into the narrative: classic cars, the music of an ice cream truck, a hula girl on the dash. We are introduced to the Fixer. He is a not a simple gun for hire, but a complex character: a "tough guy" who is afraid for for his family. Will this fear that drives him to do unspeakable evils out of loyalty for his boss also be the emotion that redeems him? What is left unsaid is the most intriguing part of the narrative for this reviewer. The silent moments (back filled with a great score) speak volumes. Here credit goes to the crisp writing, acting, and directing, as small movements, even the subtle raise an the eyebrow are used to convey emotions that words cannot capture. There's so much more that is left unsaid - I hope to see more of this film in the near future!

That was easily the most rewarding 17 minutes of my day; wish it was longer. Nice L.A. vibe, shot well, really good performances.

An extremely well-crafted modern-day noir film that leaves you wanting more. Overall production quality is excellent from sound to cinematography and a great use of Los Angeles locations. Authentic performances from all the actors, none more so than Tuesday the dog. Highly recommend.
