A Standout at the LA Film Fest!!
I was completely blown away by this film.
From the very first few minutes, I found myself sitting up, eyes wide, thinking, "Wait... hold on this is not what I expected." And I mean that in the best possible way. This short film defied expectations and delivered a powerful, high concept story with the kind of precision and emotional punch you usually only get in big budget features.
The actor playing the lead character, Dyson, is a generational talent. His performance was magnetic....layered, intense, and brutally honest. He absolutely crushed it. In my opinion, at its core, this is a revenge film, and honestly, who doesn't love a good revenge story? I took so much satisfaction in watching him even the score.
But what truly sets this film apart is its execution. The attention to detail in every frame, every scene-costume, lighting, pacing-nothing was overlooked. The entire cast brought their A-game; not a single weak link disrupted the illusion, which is extremely rare.
What's even more impressive is how the story incorporates time travel and multiverse elements in a way that feels fresh, not overdone. In an era where those themes are everywhere, this film found a new angle and it worked.
And can we talk about the score and soundtrack? Phenomenal. Every piece of music felt intentional, elevating the tension, the emotion, the stakes.
This was a short film with long-lasting impact. I can't wait to watch it again and I have a feeling this won't be the last time we're hearing about this Roy Williams Jr fellow.
