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.

It was an incredible journey throughout the film the characters were amazing the acting was outstanding I loved it so much that I want to rent a movie theater and play it in the big screen. Derek bauder is an amazing actor and director and screen writer I am very excited to see his next project. The twist at the end was crazy made my jaw drop I loved it. I wish it was longer I could've watch that for hours it definitely deserves the awards and nominations it got Giancarlo was incredible his acting was amazing every scene with him was incredible I felt his pain though his acting. Overall the film was incredible and I loved it.

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.

I don't normally watch short films but after watching this and really enjoying it's probably time to watch great cast great story I would highly recommend it.i been following Derek on tiktok for a really long time and he was talking about watching a short film and i told my wife we need to watch this shes not usually into horror/ suspense movies but she really enjoyed it. I wish the story was longer and it was a full length film and it needs to be in threatres and nominated for a oscar and many more films they whole starting cast needs more roles i would love to recommend this movie to the world.

Giancarlo is an amazing actor in this film. As well as Derek. Even with a low budge this film as the potential to be o e of the best edge of your seat thiller short film out there today. The movie score is wonderful and brings this entire movie together. I've been following Derek on tic tok through this entire journey and have to say congratulations man on making a very well made short film with some of the best actors around. I would recommend this short film to anyone who thinks that dreams of being a film maker are impossible. Look what Derek did he had a dream and rolled with it and wrote and produced this amazing masterpiece.
