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.
Well to get started, Giancarlo is amazing at acting. The story how it held you in suspense, and how less was more was so vital in this short film. Hands off to all the actors. One thing I will say is Derek would've been nice to see him get more on the crazy side And really harnessed that killer. Very good well written lines just fell short of execution, a little with the henchman. Amazing for a first film would like to see how it would've been if Derrek just got a little more in his face and a little bit more slow down and villain esque so I would say 10/10 writing production 8/10 acting so good.
"Pollo Loco" is a short film written and directed by Derek Bauder. It has a strong story structure and powerful character development that will keep you engaged from beginning to end. The film's visual elements are striking, and the absence of excessive dialogue allows the visuals to tell the story effectively. The setting is so well-crafted that you will feel as if you are experiencing what the characters are going through. Overall, this film is highly recommended and is sure to leave you wanting more. It's a testament to the fact that a well-crafted film with strong visuals and character development can have a profound impact.
This was amazing definitely worth the weight Derek acting gave me chills for certain scenes. Same with John Carlos man if I had this on like a DVD or something like that I'd be watching over and over. It's absolutely worth the wait it's crazy. Also, everybody's acting 10 out of 10 definitely the best short from I've seen all year. Some of the scenes were filled with great emotion like it was meant to be I'm assuming and just the storytelling in general is 10 out of 10 top-notch and this writer and Director (Derek Bauder) has been such a huge decoration to me. I've followed his whole process, behind-the-scenes and helped me get informed back to the short film definitely go watch it for sure.
This was an awesome short film. I was definitely surprised on how good it was. The score of this was very well done. This will definitely surprise people. Especially with the twist at the end. No spoilers though. If you want to see it go watch it for yourself. Everyone did a very good job on there part of the film. Especially Derek (aka Danny) and the other actors and actresses. This was definitely worth the wait to watch. I did enjoy watching it too. The cinematography on this was good too. Thank you to Derek (Danny) and everyone involved with this. This was very enjoyable to watch. This had me interested from beginning to end. Thank you all. I give this film a 9/10!
