Rewind

Saw this short film at a Film festival and was blown away. The quality of work in the short, outstanding. The VFX, acting, stunts, it really has it all! Worthy of being turned into a full length feature. Not only was I captivated by the amount of work put into the short film, I was moved by the story. With a sci-fi element of time travel and a main character at the center filled with determination and heart, you get a short story that leaves you wanting more, what could be if some things were different or if you could change certain parts of time. I would definitely love to see this work be put as a TV show or a film.

This short film provides a compelling exploration of the moments that shape our lives, emphasizing how we choose to spend our time. Jason Woods, the main actor, delivers a captivating performance that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats; fostering a deep connection with the characters. His portrayal of raw and authentic emotions, particularly the sadness depicted, adds a profound layer to the narrative, making it a memorable viewing experience. The stunts showcased in this short film not only amplified its overall impact but also highlighted the impressive skills of the stunt coordinator. A big kudos to the production team as well, and high hopes for Jason Woods to star in major motion films.

I saw this at a film fest with a few friends of mine and I really liked it. It was the best of the films in the block. My only complaint is it was a short film and should be a feature film. The sound was really good and the effects were well done too. I loved everything about it. The writing, the cinematography, the characters and the strong performances. Furthermore, the exploration of family relationships adds depth to the narrative. The protagonist's desire to use time travel to reconnect with lost loved ones is relatable and tugs at heartstrings. The story beautifully captures both the joy and pain associated with familial connections.

Rewind is a moving and thrilling short sci-fi film. The story keeps you on edge as the big brother, Rewind, (Jason Woods) time travels back and forth to save little brother, Jax, (Sage Mayer) who has run afoul of gangster, Whistler, (Johnny Alexander). Writer/Director Leo Lungaro squeezed every ounce of action and suspense into this 6 minute short film. Jason Woods as Rewind is suited to this genre. He carries the film on his broad shoulders with movie star aplomb. In a feature film, Mr. Woods would have had a stunt double, but that's not possible in shorts, yet he handles the physicality as well as the acting deftly.

Kudos to Leo Lungaro for delivering a well crafted short film.

"REWIND" took me on an emotional journey, traversing through a spectrum that included grief, hope, regret, and a sense of heroism. The film introduces a captivating and rare concept that I've longed for, inviting audiences to contemplate the idea of revisiting pivotal moments and altering destinies. Picture yourself going back in time to reshape the outcomes of your greatest desires or most haunting regrets.

The cast impressively brings the universe of "REWIND" to life with unwavering conviction. They skillfully convey the pain and anger of Rewind, the hope and despair of Jax, and even the malevolence embodied by the Whistler. Their performances add layers of authenticity to the characters, making the narrative more immersive.

What sets this film apart is its exceptional quality, surpassing the standards of its counterparts in the category. The combination of remarkable picture quality and skillful direction align seamlessly with the standards of a blockbuster action hit. The stunts executed in the film are so astonishing that they leave you pondering how such shots were even achieved.

"REWIND" exceeds every expectation, delivering an experience that goes above and beyond. It is undeniably a must-watch, and my anticipation is fueled by the hope of witnessing more cinematic gems of this caliber in the future.
