Betray: Thirst

I enjoyed this flick. I'm familiar with the director's work from a film festival and I've seen quite a bit of his work. I root for anyone willing to step out and produce a movie with minimal resources. This is maybe the best I've seen him produce. He's had a few films with potential where the acting and production value was subpar but this is an exception. All of the actors were believable and although you know beforehand what's likely to happen, I was still intrigued to see how the story would unfold. The highlight of the movie would have to be the actress, Bre Hassan, and her performance. This appears to be her first credit in a film but she was amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her. Overall, a pretty good movie.

The story was well written and the quality of the videography was phenomenal. The cast was beautifully and strategically handpicked to bring forth the vision. I believed each character as they were using their gift of acting to tell this beautiful story. I could also empathize with each one of them. I laughed so much and I was talking back to the screen. When you do that everyone knows it's got to be a good show. I appreciate the producers gift of being a story to life. Thoroughly enjoyed this screen play and can't wait to see it again. I believed Jaron and the cast will be seen world wide!

I must say that Jaron Lockridge's movies are like fine wine. They keep getting better and better with time. Everything from the casting, score, editing, videography, sound and a whole lot more is top notch and next level. The story kept me engaged the entire time and I kept wanting more and more. I loved how the actors embraced their roles and showed vulnerability in the scenes where they did. In my humble opinion this movie could be on a major platform like BET. The movie had plenty of drama and suspense and even had a few subtle comical moments. I would highly recommend seeing this movie and it gets 10 stars from me. Great job to all involved and I salute.

Top-notch performances. The cast has amazing chemistry. The film is expertly directed with a tight script. The cinematography and sound design are elite. The film is tense when it needs to be and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are comedic moments that keep things from getting melodramatic. There is not a moment that feels forced in this movie and that is a testament to the amazing actors and deft direction from Lockridge. This is independent film at its best. If this director were given a Hollywood budget his originality would put the stale copy/paste stories they are continually releasing to shame.

I recently saw this film and was thoroughly blown away by the story. I was able to identify and relate to multiple characters and the ending of the movie gives us all something to think about. Great film! The actors & actresses did a tremendous job with believability and selling their emotions. The production quality was 10/10. I often watch indie films and very few of them are able to deliver a quality script, quality acting, & quality camera work/editing. Needless to say, this film did. Jaron Lockridge definitely has a knack for writing and capturing dramatic imagery. Would definitely watch this film again.
