The Moment After

Just recently saw the film at the New Festival. It was a very well told story. Great acting, colorful characters, beautifully shot. It held me from the first shot, running me through the full gamut of emotion in a mere 13 minutes. Brilliant! Quite a promising start for the talented young McCullo

This gem grips the viewer from the first moment of it's thirteen minutes. It is directed with a sure hand and wonderfully executed, with powerful imagery and superb acting. Notable also are the cinematography, editing and sound design. McCollough's glimpse into a life not lived is poignant without being didactic. It delivers it's message with heart.

I love this film. A universal story and theme told with a unique voice and vision. Everyone can relate to the moment in your life when you make a choice that will change everything for ever. I laughed, cried, and watched it again. Any film that makes you think about your life and your mortality is a treasure. Thank you Gerald. Can't wait for the next one.

I must say that I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this "gay" film. Now, after seeing the film I can honestly say that I hate the fact that this film has any "label" other than "outstanding". Seeing this movie from the eyes of a "straight" man, I can say that the movie really touched me. It gives the audience an amazing insight into life and the opportunities that knock on our door everyday. In a world where so many people are starving for love, this beautiful movie reminds us that often love is right in front of our faces and all we have to do is open our arms and embrace it. What I really love about this movie is that it's themes are universal- black, white, gay, straight, male, female....whatever! I take my hat of to Mr. McCullough and I hope we'll soon see more of his incredible and courageous vision.

This was a really moving and emotional short film. The acting was excellent as were the production qualities. I would recommend it to any festival looking for quality programming. I am looking forward to seeing the future endeavors of this film maker.
