...of Dale "Winter's Bone" Dickey, one of my favorite character actors currently working, is tyro writer/director Courtenay Johnson's adaptation of a short story by Giles Smith. She may never become a household name, but her rendition of this poignant tale will always be a choice gem on her own filmmaking crown as well. I hope she gets more opportunities to flex her creative muscles, though it appears producing is what she's pursuing. Caught this one on YouTube and enjoyed it immensely; it also features nice turns by Lindsay "True Blood" Pulsipher and Michael "Shotgun Stories" Abbott Jr.

To define it is the main challenge . For theme, for impeccable storytelling, for inspired atmosphere, for silences and , especially, for admirable performance of Dale Dickey . A film about last meal for Death Row House. The last meal and the great manner to reflect a job in its fundamental traits. So, just a special short film.
