    I cried

    I've been waiting for this to come out for a while! Happy I'm finally able to watch it. Originally called Carpe Noctem, so I was confused at first, but I guess movies change names sometimes. What a bitter sweet story told in a way that no one other than Gene could tell it. Great work!

    What on God's green earth did I just watch?

    This was beyond a student film. The acting was wooden, the writing was ridiculous , the color grading a joke. It was like they ran the film through 14 instagram filters. And the overuse of flares.

    The leads were uncharismatic and there was way too much talking.

    SKIP!!!!

    Surreal LA

    This was a very trippy film with a positive message. A love note to the city of Los Angeles and a very random love story. Semi action but also romance reminiscent of futuristic classics.

    We love Pasha Gerard and Nina Bergman!

    Visually excellent! Seize The Night was consistently engaging. Awesome work Nina Bergman; one of her best works. I was already a huge fam of NB from her character in, A Call of Duty Black Ops 3. Pasha Gerard wrote an excellent story and I appreciated his performance in this film. As an artist myself, I appreciated the blue lens that the director used showcasing the simplicity and beauty of Hollywood. Look for the details the funny lines in the movie. Appreciate the arts and support independent film makers! I look forward to more work from you Pasha Gerard!

    Seize a sleeping pill..........................

    The good: you dont have to watch it. There is something that is called "free will".

    The bad: Bingo. It's amateur hour! This movie has been made. By somebody who is incapable of making movies. Completely incapable.

    Works quite well as a sleeping pill!
