Shannon Brown is really good as the title character in the film short Windy. Playing a role such as this could come off as trying too hard but he really handles the role nicely. He is one of the cornerstones in the Chicago film scene and you can see why here. The story is original and I really like what Matt Brassil does with the piece but I felt the ending was confusing and didn't really fit with the rest of the movie. Gail Harfar is also really good in the piece as well. She handles the role with aplomb. Suzette Brown has a nice supporting turn as well. Rounded out by David McNulty, Windy has a really nice feel to it. Take out the strange ending and this is a really great piece. Brassil really knows how to put a film together. I hope to see more of what he and Two 9 productions have to offer. I think Two 9 has a really great shot to become one of the great Chicago Indie production houses around.
