    Powerful film

    I first saw JOHNNY FLYNTON at the LA Short Film Festival at Arclight

    last summer. I was impressed then. Recently I rewatched it on DVD... the

    direction, the performances, the cinematography, the writing, the

    music... every element is as good or better than any commercial

    full-length film I've seen in a long time. Riveting. If you get the chance to see it, you won't be disappointed.

    Independent film fanatic!

    I saw this 30 minute "short" at the end of a block of shorts and was blown away by it! The music is amazing and draws you in with every note. It does an excellent job of portraying the drama of this movie. The story brings you through the life of a shy boxer and his wife, makes you totally understand his troubles and care for him and what ends up happening in his life. You are going to be at the edge of your seats with the drama and realistic feelings that come across in the film!

    I recommend this "short" to anyone looking for a jewel in the sea of so many independent films out there!!!

    I look forward to seeing more from the brilliant young director Lexi Alexander and hope that her true story becomes a full length motion picture soon!

    Someone please distribute this film...

    What can I say... I just returned from the second premiere of the film at the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival. I was blown away. The performances, the cinematography, the writing were all great.

    I remember hearing Lexi Alexander on a local radio station preparing to film the movie. Asking for extras and telling how great Alabama is to film. I was hoping that she would become successful in her efforts, and she was.

    As for the acting, Dash Mihok stole the already great show. Best performance of the festival. This man is going to win an Oscar one day. If this film makes me want to dedicate my life to film. Watch this film if it is in a festival in the future.

    Truly awesome.

    What baloney!

    I don't usually comment and rarely flame, but this movie just outraged me and my companions. Seeing this film especially on the same bill as all the other 2002 short film/live action nominees was truly annoying. Johnny Flynton demonstrated what is so egregious about much of current American filmmaking. The plot was trite and undeveloped, the characters were stock and undeveloped, and the message heavy-handed and confused. This filmmaker knows nothing about real working-class people; this was made most evident by the character saying he should do something *simple* like being an auto mechanic. What a putdown of a real working person's profession. Get some real life experience Laci and try again. Everyone else: go see This Charming Man.

    Brilliant!

    Johnny Flynton is the most brilliant film I have ever seen. I saw it during a short film festival in Los Angeles and was completely blown away. I can't wait for the feature length version to come out. Even though it was only 35 minutes long I felt as if I knew and understood each character and had insight into their life experiences. The mastery with which this film was made is stunning. It is exciting to think what these brilliant young filmmakers will do next.
