The Moment After

This movie kept me guessing. I kept trying to discern what was beneath the action. The flashbacks offer insight without giving away the story. I was completely caught by surprise. The fast pace of the movie compells the viewer to be cerebral, yet intimacy lurks throughout the film. We bounce between joy and sorrow and become reminded of those we love as well as the crazy friends who love us. Then as the mood turns we are blasted by the tradgedy. There are very few of us that don't know someone who has befallen such a tradgedy and many of us have indeed asked ourselves "I wonder what went through his/her mind." This film explores that and the deep sorrow of ...the moment after. A great story

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.

I saw this film as part of a series of shorts in the Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in New York. While all the other films had their strengths, this film, by far, was the standout. First, the professional quality of the film was striking. The cinematography, the sound, the performances, the writing, the fast-paced editing and the incredible direction were all top-notch. The story line, although quite dark, was very beautiful and touching. To try to comment on much of the subject matter, would be to give away too much, and that would be a disservice to this film. All of the acting performances were strong, especially that of director/writer/star, Gerald McCullouch. It is amazing to me that a film of less than twenty minutes made such a strong impact on me, and on those with whom I've discussed the film. As a stand-alone project, this is quite an accomplishment. As a first film for this innovative and creative man, this is outstanding. I look forward to many more of his future projects.

I was totally blown away by this film. Without giving anything away, it was the heights of exhilaration and the depths of despair all rolled up in one. Quite a roller coaster for the emotions. I look forward to what Gerald will do next!

Like a programmer of Gay & Lesbian Film Exhibition from Barcelona, I must say the Moment After is a very important film to be shown in that kind of Festivals but also in the Festivals of general issues (good script/ history and very good realization).

The moment after is a very well contructed drama with an unexpected final, and transmits a lot of feelings. When I decided to program the film, I did it after seeing the pre-view tape, I decided, with no doubt, that the film has to be shown. First for the movie in itself, the history. But then for what transmits, at least to gay and lesbian people but I think also heterosexual people can share the feeling, the decision, the idea that i'm sure mostly of homosexual people though once in "That moment" in one moment of their live. And after seeing the film you think: "lucky to have the moment after".

If you have the oportunity you have to see it: DO IT!. Doesn't matter if you are gay or not, because is an interesting and good movie and you will understand certain moments of gay people lives.

Thanks Gerald for this Moment. People who attend the Exhibition liked the movie the puntuation given by the audience (1 to 5) was 4.2 (average), GOOD. We wait for your next movie!
