Betray: Thirst

I must say that Jaron Lockridge's movies are like fine wine. They keep getting better and better with time. Everything from the casting, score, editing, videography, sound and a whole lot more is top notch and next level. The story kept me engaged the entire time and I kept wanting more and more. I loved how the actors embraced their roles and showed vulnerability in the scenes where they did. In my humble opinion this movie could be on a major platform like BET. The movie had plenty of drama and suspense and even had a few subtle comical moments. I would highly recommend seeing this movie and it gets 10 stars from me. Great job to all involved and I salute.

Loved this movie! Writer-Director Jaron Lockridge gives us an insightful, touching and sometimes really funny look into the hearts and lives of people just like us in this wonderful installment of the Betray anthology.characters are familiar and new at the same time.

The writing is crisp and edgy. No easy way to put any character in a box. Jaron's script and the actors imbue even his "bad guys" with such humanness you will empathize with them. Especially the character who commits the most heinous act. I especially liked the friendships! Everyone needs one of these BFFs in your life.

See it. Soon!

I enjoyed this flick. I'm familiar with the director's work from a film festival and I've seen quite a bit of his work. I root for anyone willing to step out and produce a movie with minimal resources. This is maybe the best I've seen him produce. He's had a few films with potential where the acting and production value was subpar but this is an exception. All of the actors were believable and although you know beforehand what's likely to happen, I was still intrigued to see how the story would unfold. The highlight of the movie would have to be the actress, Bre Hassan, and her performance. This appears to be her first credit in a film but she was amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her. Overall, a pretty good movie.

Top-notch performances. The cast has amazing chemistry. The film is expertly directed with a tight script. The cinematography and sound design are elite. The film is tense when it needs to be and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are comedic moments that keep things from getting melodramatic. There is not a moment that feels forced in this movie and that is a testament to the amazing actors and deft direction from Lockridge. This is independent film at its best. If this director were given a Hollywood budget his originality would put the stale copy/paste stories they are continually releasing to shame.

First off I would like to say I have been following Jaron Lockridge's work and I have to say the movies get better and better each time. The sheer passion that is put into each film definitely shines through. This was by far one the best movies I have seen from Jaron. All of the actors and actresses brought everything to the table. The story line was so diverse and so relatable in every way just because this is real Life situations. The mix between the comedic relief and the serious moments brought this movie full circle. Everett (Darren)and Kennon(Jamal) amazing work. Totally brought those characters to life. Bre(Jada), Sherika(Ebony),Jessica(Shavonne)...ladies you nailed those performances. . Amy( Melissa) the city attorney.. can we say boss lady!! Your sass and "I mean business"demeanor brought that scene to life. Definitely need more movies as a boss lady lawyer in your future. This film deserves all the praise. The blood,sweat and tears put into this shows and each film just gets better and better. Would highly recommend this to anyone.
