Excellent short film, 21 April 2004
10/10
Author: Michael Nistico (mnistico@fau.edu) from Florida

I found this to be a great first film for the director. It was a dark drama with many shady characters. The dialog between characters seemed to flow naturally.

Even though it was a drama, I found the subtle humor added to the depth of the characters. In this 30 minute short, the director/writer Mark Nistico managed to present a story that entices you to see what the fate is for the

main character Slate. Having worked with Mark before, I

know that Milking the Chicken is a real teaser for even

better films to come.
