Life captured on film.
JYoung72027 August 2015
It's not often that you come across a film that makes you re- evaluate your life. A good story teaches you a lesson without the fabrication and masks of the typical Hollywood studio norm. It's become very common nowadays for films to lack substance by simply only touching on the surface of our lives.

Pablo Moline's new short film, No More Chances, forces you to explore much beyond that by bravely laying out the rawness of the life of the characters. The loneliness, the desire, the yearning, the struggles, and most of all, the hope we all strive for is rendered so well in this short film.

Pablo has taken his talents as a director to a whole new level making the audience see eye to eye with the message of film. You can tell that not only does Pablo strive for truth, but also the human connection that makes great films so worth watching. His talent and vision brings this story to life in a way makes the audience (especially myself) think how real to life the film is and how thankful I am that he's brought it to the screen. He is a genuine storyteller and this film is a wonderful example of it. I very much look forward to more of his films in the near future.

NO MORE CHANCES, Pablo Moline/Director
inyfilmfest12 December 2016
This is what independent film should be all about.

First time filmmaker and director Pablo Moline's NO MORE CHANCES tells the story of a young man fed up with his life, yet, he still has kept his soul.

An act of kindness followed by a tragic incident forever changes his way of viewing the world. A view for the better.

Take life day by day for you do not know what tomorrow will bring.

Based on a true story, Pablo's direction takes you into the heart of this young man showing that whatever life brings find the best in it for the day will come when you will have, NO MORE CHANCES.

The powerful direction of Pablo Moline makes this short film a creative gem with a much needed message that will touch all who see this film.

The cinematography is brilliant, as is the editing, sound and music.

Everything fits perfect in this award winning short.

The INYFF 2016 awarded Pablo Moline with the Trophy for Best Director of a film short.

An up and coming director with a great deal to offer the industry.

The message within the message that sneaks up on you
exercisedaily27 August 2015
Pablo Moline is a directors director. His passion for sharing depth of story and character is apparent in his latest film. He has managed to show how each of us can be so isolated in the space we occupy and yet be together in a fulfilling and none cliché way. I don't want to give the story away, and it opens up easily enough. Yet in Moline style, he quickly shows us the domino effect and how each personality is a part of this, all within a story. The film is well cast, with some serious talent, the camera work is good, the editing stylized, yet accessible. I look forward to seeing what he could weave with a feature and more tools at his disposal. He doesn't waste a frame on anything that doesn't pull us in. Impressive director; keep your eye on him.

talented new director and writer
jrgmgz30 July 2015
"No more chances" duration is only 20 minutes, but at the end of it you feel like you watched a full length movie, maybe because the story is whole, complete, and deeply touching.

The performance of Kyle Valle is outstanding, taking us to emotional places we rarely experience. The cinematography and the original music are beautiful and could stand by themselves.

I am interested in independent films, specially low budget ones, because that is a situation in which a director's creativity gets triggered to produce uncommon results that may be more interesting than what we normally see on mainstream productions. Pablo Moline's directorial debut is one of those cases. It delivers great originality, with touches of surrealism, all at the service of a very powerful story. The trailer promotes the film as "thought provoking" but in my personal experience it went deeper into emotions than into thoughts. That may be a good thing.

Pablo Moline is coming out as a young director with a promising future. I am eagerly awaiting his next film.

A film worth watching!
jamesbondcutie23 August 2015
This was a riveting tale of a man, who like many of us, found himself in a turning point of his life, where he questioned what he was doing with the rest of his life. The story was not only exciting and unexpected but it left the audience with a positive note at the end, in hopes of helping one find a sort of epiphany in one's own life. The film was masterfully directed from the shots and camera angles to the depiction of the characters (even the minor roles circled back and were integrated gracefully into the plot line). The unique styling of certain scenes gave the plot more depth and character as it shifted the attention of the audience. This short film is definitely one for the books and one worth recommending! It's a must watch!
