Unit 30 review

Unit 30 is a short film I did the typical actor trifecta on: I wrote, directed and acted in the short film. Well apparently my parents aren't the only ones who liked it! Check out the awesome review Unit 30 received from Dystopia Magazine! You can read the full review HERE. Below are some highlights:

"The short 21 minute film was well worth seeing and had this horror fan giggling at the blend of tongue-in-cheek horror and playful music..."

"I have to say how much I enjoyed this fun little film. While watching, the viewer can see just how much these actors are enjoying themselves and it's contagious for the viewer. Ms. Hough did a nice job of directing this short-film and I was impressed by how much story-line and laughter she was able to pack into a mere 21 minutes; that cannot be an easy task! Original and refreshing, Unit 30 definitely has that be-careful-what-you-wish-for feeling at the end. A playful mystery with an ending that may have you considering buying instead of renting next time around...

Look for Unit 30 at your local film festivals; it's definitely worth catching!

Overall Rating: 4"

Media Film Fest Update

As my fateful readers know, Unit 30 played at the Media Film Fest a few weeks ago. I had an amazing time at the festival and was glad that I not only got to experience the audience reaction of Unit 30 with more than 75 strangers, but I was also on the East Coast just in time to be apart of record breaking snow fall! Below is my experience of the Fest, and yes, I was lazy and just copy and pasted from the Unit 30 Blog

Unit 30 screened at the Media Film Festival Friday Feb. 26th in the town of Media, PA. Unit 30 was the last film shown that night to an audience of 75+. It was a great crowd and we could not have asked for a better audience reaction. As soon as the film started we were getting laughs and as Unit 30 went on the laughter was so loud at times you could not hear the dialogue on screen! I was told by multiple people on the Media Fest board that Unit 30 was the film, out of both nights, that got the biggest audience response. You couldn't ask for anything better than that. Thank you again to everyone on the Media Committee that made the festival happen.
