Pollo Loco

Pollo Loco was a well crafted film with potential to be a great, full film if executed correctly. I have followed Derek's journey of Pollo Loco from the start and have become more curious the more I saw about it on TikTok. I decided to give his film a shot and I do not regret it. I would've never thought a TikTok creator would have made such an eye-catching film. My girlfriend and I had a blast watching but we did share one opinion which lowered our rating towards the short film. The acting performances from Derek, Jorge, and Emily were a fantastic watch and could see lots of potential for their future as actors. On the other hand, Giancarlo's performance was fine but it wasn't believable. I believe there could have been a better casting choice for a character of Pollo Loco. Besides not looking the part, Giancarlo wasn't giving a menacing portrayal or the feeling of a crime boss either. I would've loved for a deeper dive in the other characters' stories instead because they were better written and more interesting and believable. Besides that, the film was amazing overall and would recommend it to others.

"Pollo Loco" is a short film written and directed by Derek Bauder. It has a strong story structure and powerful character development that will keep you engaged from beginning to end. The film's visual elements are striking, and the absence of excessive dialogue allows the visuals to tell the story effectively. The setting is so well-crafted that you will feel as if you are experiencing what the characters are going through. Overall, this film is highly recommended and is sure to leave you wanting more. It's a testament to the fact that a well-crafted film with strong visuals and character development can have a profound impact.

I came into pollo loco with pretty good expectations and I left very pleased. It was a very suspenseful film with intense moments and truly shocked me on how good it was in general. The acting was very very good. The quality of the film was really good even for a short film. And the writing and pacing of the film was very well written. I remember watching it for the first time and was very surprised but thrilled at the same time. I like how the characters have pretty good roles in the story and feel well written and not just cheap writing. The story, acting, plot, and everything was just an overall suspenseful yet enjoying film to watch.
