UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Theo Robertson One thing I've noticed in my marathon viewing of short films is how obscure most of them are . Some have been available on youtube and other similar sites for a while and yet there hasn't been as many as five people coming to IMDb to give a short film as much as a rating . Sad . Very sad , so it's nice to see so many people who have felt the need to vote and comment on Ryan Connolley's short film PROXIMITY and hopefully everyone who enjoyed this can go and search online for a few other undiscovered gems I did like PROXIMITY but didn't love it It's a hard hitting story replete with violence rarely seen in a short film and this means it's morbid and gritty but somewhat charmless . It also involves a little bit of cheating . The protagonist is far too knowledgeable about his situation which could be interpreted as being ambiguous as to who he is and his origins but it's more likely that Ryan hasn't thought up a backstory for the situation and this harms the narrative . There's also a scene where the man on the run removes the shackle from his colleague and insinuates that he cut off the his foot off but how would this be possible in the time frame . Of course since you don't see this it's again open to interpretation but is it likely he managed to remove the shackle without it exploding ? No in my opinion . It is a relatively exciting high concept short but so many other stories featuring a high concept plot ambiguity and a lack of explanation can spoil things

Joseph Alexander 'Proximity' is a short film, directed and produced by Ryan Connolly and co-written with Seth Worley. In it, an unknown organisation pits people against each other in a brutal game of cat and mouse. This short was fantastic. It's visually stunning, and the dialogue is excellent. Todd Bruno and Josh Connolly both deliver strong performances as Jake and Luke, as do the other actors in their various roles. When it comes down to it, what you've got here is a short film with a reasonably original plot that was written in only a couple of days. You've got fast paced action, you've got great acting performances from all involved, you've got visual dynamite and finally, you've a director who definitely deserves a shot at Hollywood.If that summary above appeals to you, then watch this film, it's only 10 minutes out of your life, and you will not regret it. 8/10Joseph

nathan barnett There is nothing bad about this short film. The act is amazing and so is the editing and knowing it was made in a small amount of time shows how much Ryan can work under pressure to pull of something great.The quality of the film and all the props was stunning. Hope there will be more amazing work coming from you because i love watching everything you do (not in a creepy way) so i hope to see more like this and tel in the future.not only is this film amazing but Ryan is amazing himself. He can make amazing youtube videos and also films and film riot is a great way to improve films without going to film school or university.
