For me, there is nothing I enjoy more (almost) than reviewing indie films. I am one that seeks out those who could benefit from the extra promotion, and although it can be difficult to sometimes squeeze it into my schedule, I am happy to help when I can. And that is exactly how I feel with The Hunt. This is an independent film, and it just so happens that Kyle Smithers, director of this film, was kind enough to give me the chance to review it. And the fact that it stars Rick Ravanello, one of my favorite actors (and people, for that matter), makes this particular review even more gratifying.

The storyline of this film is deceptively unpretentious. It's called The Hunt, …show more content…
He carries the action, the emotion, and the bulk of the story. Yes, the other characters are necessary, but if it were not for Rick's command of the character that was written for him so aptly by Tony Rettenmaier, this short film would have unequivocally fallen flat. At least in my opinion. …show more content…
The various angles at which he shoots at times veritably keeps our focus on what the Hunter is experiencing. At times, the viewers are transported to that forest, and the divergent emotions the Hunter is experienced by the viewers as well. It would be a treat to see this film on a large screen as viewing is on a small screen seems to somewhat misse some of the impact of the beauty of nature and the conflict of the Hunter.
All in all, I have no criticism for the film. In fact, I believe this film is such that it could be expanded upon to create a full-length feature or at least a more substantial film. But of coure, that requires time and resources that the filmmakers may not have at their disposal. Both the joy and agony of indie films. Phenomenal stories without the restrictions of the studios but also without the funding of the studios.
I am so grateful to Kyle for giving me the opportunity to witness his superb short film, and I can only hope that in time, more people will be able to see more of this extraodinary
