Solid.
dpb194123 March 2005
This film played at Sundance 2005 in a shorts program. Overall, really solid. Really good production values. Solid direction. But, without doubt, the best thing in this film, and the reason it works is because of the acting.

The performances from the lead actors/actresses were all solid and felt completely believable. Probably my biggest criticism/problem with 'In Time' is the script/story is a little too sentimental for my taste. Just a matter of personal taste I suppose. But, none the less, I think it works.

The crux of the story is about a woman on the eve of her marriage. She loves the man she's about to marry, and they seem like they both adore each other. There's a courting ritual that's at the center of the story, and it's done in fine fashion and with some fun moments. But, the bride-to-be has a secret ... something she's not talking about. This secret is what the story is really all about, and to say anything more would be giving too much away. I imagine this film will be playing at several festivals ... so, if you get the chance, I'd say go watch it.

Seacrest, out!

A visual feast for the heart and soul...

In Time is a sumptuous feast for the heart and soul... Y'all scored way high on all matters cinematic for my sensibilities. The images from the first shot supported by the great score tying one scene to the next was seamless and powerful. Your cast brought such sweetness, good humor and warmth to wedding prelude ritual. I think part of what touches me so is the innocence and beauty of this young girl... It was a complete surprise to me the nature of Bisi's secret. While it was clear something was"up" from pretty early on I was so enchanted by the charm of the mating ritual. I appreciate the positivity of the message. Your storytelling demonstrates great heart and Spirit by everyone involved. Congratulations to you and continued blessings in sharing your heartfelt stories and making a considerable and much appreciated difference.

Blessings, Gregory Vahanian
