The Bus Stop (1998)
Everything a short should be--see it at Atom Films!
This short rocks. It has quality acting, film-making, production, and it kept me entertained from start to finish. Even though it was made a few years ago, obviously pre Sept. 11th (my birthday, alas) the theme of terrorists hijacking a bus is poignant and gripping. Ending is a little down, but that's probably what the director intended. The score and editing keep things moving, and the DP is really talented. I don't know how they filmed some of those shots inside a bus, unless it wasn't a real bus. It's probably not easy working with kid actors but the director gets top performances, especially from the lead, Jameson Baltes. Looking on IMDb I see he's not been doing much lately. Shame because he's really talented. Anyhow, I give THE BUS STOP 9 out of 10 stars and recommend it to anyone who is interested. You won't be disappointed.
