The forgotten excitement that you can no longer see, erasing it from existence

It is not easy to bring a film under the budget. Just ask Spielberg, zemeckis or any large name output. But how you managed to make a film without a budget at all, or a budget that is not so available that your actors are working for free and spending more than your time beg for reserve change to get the next scene shot more than you are photographing? Just ask Brad Osborne, writer and director Mirror Hall2001 movie, which achieves a large budget ideal with the equivalent of criticism for my fourth grade productivity on the Pecos bill.

Mirror Hall Erik Johnson stars in the role of Dylan, a mandatory gambler depth in debt and the time quickly runs out. With the breathing of bills and analysts in his neck, Dylan decides to wrap the dice again and trust the wrong people. Dylan, who has been absorbed with promises of easy money and was deceived by the tempting tricks from Jamil’s temptation (Jolly Arialio), is on his way to his head. Charmed in a world of deceitful and fake artists, Mirror Hall It offers development after Twist, and Dylan pushed deeper and deeper in collapse.

Despite its small budget background, Mirror Hall It is not the dismissal of independent dust. It is clear that this group of Wandering Souls believes that the films are enjoyable, and they often intend to give its audience many of them. Instead of adhering to ethical questions and like meaning, sticking Osborne and Company to excite, with a movie that seems to be more comfortable in the hot palette of Bros Willis in the 1990s of the desire for independent mystery.

while Mirrors Actors are not a list A, and most of them do specialized work, especially given that they all worked for free. Jolly Arbalo is delighted, and moves from seduction to Way desperate in the game of cat and mouse negatives.

Most actors are enjoyable, with only one or two exceptions insufficient. It seems that Patrick Jordan, who plays the best friend in Dylan, is facing a problem in the realistic delivery of his lines. He often transferred his behavior to the character of Delbert, instead of a strong embrace.

Writing is not the suit of this strong movie, but Brad Osborne is a director hell. He does not work without anything and tries to do everything. Here is an unhappy way out of staying within the requirements of his budget. Mirror HallIt is clear that the crew went out through them to find creative and external ways to arrest the shots they need, and the way they want, without spending ten cents to do so. If this is a $ 50 million picture, Osborne may be on the next seed as Tim Burton.

His visual style is dark and rich, full of love and shade that is beautifully translated into the movie, despite the limits placed on it. As it is, though, Osborne does not have money to get what he wants. The shots that must be breathtaking in the light of soap opera at best, and attempts to produce depth and personality in its representatives, while courage, often ends.

However, though this Mirror Hall He does incredible things, it is a shameful thing that we have never seen anything big from Brad Osborne. However, he continued to become a strong manager working regularly.

Since his first movie appeared in 2001, Brad Osborne has made films and guidelines. He made his way to this industry, which is a great achievement for any independent manager, even if he never became Spielberg.

Unfortunately, Mirror Hall It is no longer available to watch anywhere. If you can find it Running Or for sale on DVD, you are better on the Internet than me. It is another victim in the digital age, where the past is gradually erased. I do not loan my copy.
