The Stew

After watching this film in VSFF, all I can say is wow! Beautiful production design, the direction, the cinematography, the acting. It was the right amount of everything. People laughed from the beginning to end. Chris, thanks for ending it with Dorothy! Kudos and more films to come.👌🏼

This shirt film was amazing and funny. Love the cast and their acting!

There was a lot of hype about this short heading in so I was curious how it would play out. There is some Wes Anderson feel to the style in terms of the visuals and production. It was one of the funnier films screened and Carlos Veldes is a terrific comedic actor. It's a lot packed into a short and used the passive aggressive and limited dialogue to its advantage at times. It was a good short and meet expectations I had. My only criticism of the film is that it's clear the director is trying to find his own footing and style and didn't really have a solid idea of who he wants to be as his own director. The inexperience was there but it didn't hinder too bad so I'm curious and open to see what else he produces in the future. Funny overall but some weak moments. Not a repeat watch for me but enjoyable all the same.

Great acting! But the editing was poor and so was the writing. Melissa and Carlos are great though!

Although not having seen this film, I find that it was quite hilarious. I was given spoilers and honestly, I laughed at all the jokes. I hope to see the film, and laugh at all the hilarious jokes. Happy to see one of my favorite actors, write and direct a 9-minute film.

Congratulations to all the other writers and directors who also wrote their stories.
