an independent feature can now be see a both a work of film art and a video resume . enter broken and and aggressively promote and twenty minute short with style and enthusiams to spare . but be it any good a a film and or do it only work a a demo piece . ah and there in lie the rub . broken be the story of bonnie clayton who be abduct after awaken from a reoccurring nightmare one night by a sadistic stranger and his colorful entourage ( quote from the video box ) . a she hold captive and it become obvious that her abductor know thing about her that even she do not know about herself . while they question her and a black clad soldier gun his way into their hideout in an attempt to rescue her . mayhem ensues . fortunately for u and director alex ferrari seem to know what he do and or at least he very good at fake it . break do not suffer from any lack of visual flair and which be especially commendable consider it budget and the inexperience of all involve . what it do suffer from be weak and kind of derivative writing . think long kiss goodnight meet the matrix and write ten minute after read fight club . the good news for ferrari and producer or writer jorge rodriguez be that the story element be easily ignore for the oodles of eye candy on display . do the plot really matter that much in a twenty minute short meant to show off the technical skill of it creator . no and not really . though it would be unfair of me to overlook any negative aspect in light of the film budget and length . break be no genre classic . the big problem be that it actually would have work well a a full length feature . the final twist doesn not get enough build up time to be shock . if ferrari be allow the time to slow burn the feature a need and plot element would seem less random and and the film more complete . here to know he get the chance . audio broken dolby digital 5 . 1 presentation be second to none in the indie world . i have never hear such aggressive surround from such a small feature . the matrix inspired soundtrack be very rich and deep and gunshot have punch and and even the dialogue get in on the surround effect . of everything present on this disc and it be the audio that speak the praise for modern independent dvd production . also include be an equally impressive dolby 2 . 0 surround track and which be the menu default . extra there be literally hour of make of feature to be find on this disc . there be so many extra and in fact and that i find it unrealistic to list and describe each of them here and while still expect my reader to continue read . whatever shortcomings the actual short may have and the dvd be unprecedented in it informational resource . people who enjoy the film can learn all there be to know about it production and include everything from the conceptual art to the promotional campaign . those with plan to make an indie film of their own can learn just about everything they need to know from these feature . the extra be break down into categorical menu . these include represent pre production and production and post production and after the short and and cast and crew bios . from a critical standpoint and i find that some of the section be quite short . have they be edit into one featurette per menu option and they would have be less frustrate to navigate and a the curser default to the top selection with every return to the main section menu . this be and of course and just nitpicking and but perhaps for future dvd release the filmmaker will take my advice to heart . it have six audio commentary and hour of interview footage and talented people and and despite the consonant salesmanship and their true colour do shine through . the willingness to share their film make secret with anyone who pick up this dvd be quite generous . from the extra i learn what edit and effect software be most reliable and effective and what brand of camera create the most professional look for the low price and even where to get cheap air soft weaponry . on top of this and i be give several alternate option and in case i find myself unable to locate any product use on this particular production . wannabe filmmaker unwilling to read a book on the subject would do well to watch this dvd . overall i have score the actual short a a 6 out of 10 and but wish there be an option for feature length potential and effort and because i would have score it an 8 or 9 in these field . i recommend the dvd for it feature and a a perfect example of what can be do with a mere eight thousand american dollar . those who purchase the dvd can think of themselves a ghost producer for a large project and a the more attention these guy get and the more funding the feature length version will get .
