No Charge

This film is fun, thoughtful and thought provoking. It tells a story that people in all walks of life can relate to. Writers Carmen Treffiletti and Dan Luby did a great job of putting together a script that was based on the stand up comedy of the film's star Fernando Martinez. Director Carmen Treffiletti then did a great job seeing it through. The cast is loaded with professional stand up comics and very talented actors of all age ranges. Director of Photography Beau Williams also did a fantastic job of covering the scenes and catching the true sense of the story with his approach. For a film done on a very small budget I must say it's a success in film making. In a film we look for characters we care about and to be entertained. No Charge takes us there on both accounts.

I laughed a lot and thought the photography was great. Wish it had lasted a little longer. The manager of the coffee shop was very funny. The main character was well portrayed as a down on his luck good guy. The caste was well balanced as a cross-section of today's youth. I watched this film several times and recommended it to my friends. The film had a "Forest Buellers Day Off" feel to it. The characters interacted well and believably with each other. I hope that this team can put together another film as a follow up, and I think that the ending would support a "No Charge 2". There were several loose ends that could be tied together with a follow up film.
