Caught the World Premiere for "Showdown In Yesteryear" during block 7 of Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival in August 2022. The filmmakers delivered an engaging, fun, classic Western delight! The music by Brandon Hawley was majestic, perhaps one of the most rousing and well integrated into a film that I've seen in many years! The characters well drawn, and I especially enjoyed the performances by Vernon Wells as Orson Kane, and Jeff Grennell as Daryl Dumwoody. The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous, catching the old West perfectly. This film was an expansion on a terrific short from a few years ago "The Door", and expertly grew from its interesting premise. The writing & story overall was superb, and special kudos to Gregory Lamberson and Tim O'Hearn for that. Let's not forget Aaron Bratcher's crisp direction, that also allowed scenes room to breathe. Our audience was completely captivated, and appreciated many of the nods/easter eggs too. Tip of the cowboy hat to ALL involved 👏
MR. MARCH was the opening short for Block 4 of the Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival on Friday, August 19th, and I very much enjoyed it! Clever. Good pacing. Well executed. Smartly written. Strong performances. Usually you don't see this perfect combination in shorts, and when you do it's memorable. I'd frankly love to see a future feature film exploring the world of Calendar Men. Well done by all involved!
This past Saturday 8/20 at Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival I discovered Block 5's "The Marshmallow Mystery Tour". Now it's in the running for surprise treat of the Festival for me.
Edgy, quick witted, and it creates a clever juxtaposition of what we want(ed) as we grow up vs. The dirty realities behind many of those "pleasures". Whenever a film can make people belly laugh & smile one moment then think seriously the next/or at the sametime(!) it's an applaudable achievement. Well done!!
