For Hannah (2021)
Great storytelling!!!
Writer, director, and cinematographer John Wesley Norton does a great job telling this slow-burn, suspenseful story. Loved the way all his characters came to life with their personalities and quirks, each one adding to the overall tension of the film with twists, turns, and sub-plots along the way! "Well done" to Shannon Brown, Carla Abruzzo, Ric Morgan, Suzette Brown, Bruce Spielbauer, and Kayla Kelly for her hysterical Cheryl character! These and the rest of the crew and actors did their part to make this movie a success!!!
Every 21 Seconds (2018)
Great film -- worth the watch -- well done to everyone involved!!
I recently watched this film and found it to be thought-provoking and impactful. The movie is adapted from a book written by Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor Brian Sweeney, also titled Every 21 Seconds, which is the estimate of how often someone in the United States sustains a TBI.
Shannon Brown and Kelly Thiebaud turn in stellar performances as Brian and his wife Mary Beth. They help us to understand the uncertainties, the pain, the losses, and the triumphs of their personal TBI story - a story that continues to this day as Brian's TBI is a permanent part of their lives.
This film is what indie filmmaking should continue to strive toward. Telling stories, whether they be fiction or non-fiction, in real ways. Give me this over a green screen cgi-centric film every time!
Congrats to Shannon, Kelly, Kuba Luczkiewicz (director), the rest of the cast, the crew, and anyone else who breathed life into this film. Thank you and well done!
