Guerrilla (2018)
Trip Down Memory Lane
This short from Shane Ryan definitely captures the spirit of the '80's...for me the early '80's.
It's a fun little adventure that kind of invoked memories of Troma to me, right down to the music. For me, that's a good thing.
Paper Kids (2016)
Not a word spoken, But so much said
First off, get rid of all distractions and just focus on what's before you. There are many subtle things watch for here.
Shane Ryan has opened up to us a window that allows us to see things that we don't see, and/or choose not to. That may make you uncomfortable, perhaps it should. I find that Shane paints beautiful character portraits, even when the subject is ugly. I attribute that to the fact that despite limited budgets, he has learned to express so much with so little...that's a GIFT!
As for the actors, well if I didn't know better, I'd say they were random subjects Shane happened to film. That's not a knock at all. In a film with no dialogue, the expressions, the eyes...the pain feels real. Very believable.
This won't be for everyone, however, immerse yourself freely and you might find that it will grab you.
