Brooklyn Breach

I saw Brooklyn Breach last night and was captivated by both the intriguing storyline, inventive use of split-screens and the excellent acting--especially the Sadia & Jonathan characters.

I especially liked the inventive twist on the surveillance concept, as we watch the characters through their TV cameras, outdoor surveillance cameras and cellphones. The ending was intense!

It is amazing what the director was able to achieve on such a modest budget. He was at the screening to answer questions and was very forthright in his assessment of the future of indie features. I hope Brooklyn Breach will make it to Netflix so I can show it to my boyfriend! - Susan P.

A dark suspense drama. The story weaves the lives of 3 couples with the backdrop of privacy violation issues in a consumer society driven by powerful corporations. A unique commentary about how our lives can so easily become the drama on someone else screen.

The cinematic language is innovative and involves the audience in a voyeuristic framework, turning the principle of reality TV inward on itself. The story unfolds before our eyes in the form of surveillance feeds, but in a fashion that works with the story, rather than appearing as a gimmick.

Artfully done. A first of an aspiring filmmaker to watch!
