Don't miss this classy, smart psychological thriller. From the casting (Kellan Lutz, Brittany Gonzalas, Gotz Otto) to the gorgeous set to the unique mysterious plot-this is a fantastic short from Keyvan Sheik. I was thrilled to interview him for the Black Hills Film Festival. His eye and discernment are marking him for major success in directing.
Divertimento is a great movie, the quality of the story and visuals are incredible. A very good script that captivates you. Impressive cast of actors with very good performance.
Keyvan Sheikhalishahi is a very talented director and screenwriter and I look forward to seeing his next movie!

An impressive short like you've probably never seen. Kellan Lutz teams up with Torrey DeVitto in a mysterious, dangerous game, and faces some tenacious competitors. But this game is much more than what it seems, hiding several secrets... as the narrator announces it at the beginning, in a very cold way.
The story is very ambitious, dealing with several topics and timelines (not only time but also reality) in a short time, which all make one single huge story. It's beautifully made, with a beautiful game of lights, and great music. There are film noir vibes in the castle which makes it stunning.
A must-watch short with a big production scale -- there is a thrilling central fight/shootout corridor scene, with two different connected timelines impactful to each other. This single scene alone is really crazy! The film can make you "remember" a Hitchcock film tone and more recently Fincher or Nolan.

A film that has the look of a major studio. The cast is of the highest caliber, the location is gorgeous and the story is engaging and compelling. Really great work from a director with a clear vision.
It was an honor to screen this amazing film at the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival. Director / writer Keyvan Sheikhalishahi is extremely talented and I'm positive we will see many more wonderful projects from him! If you get a chance to watch this short film, be sure you do! You won't be disappointed.
