Review by Victoria Angelique:

The short film CRISIS POINT is a sizzle reel that promises an exciting dystopian future that will leave audiences on their edge of their seats. The content has everything a futuristic film needs, great special effects and high technology, along with some stunt fighting thrown in to guarantee a breathtaking adventure through this world. 

The world is set up from the first few seconds of a fallen civilization. People can no longer tolerate the sun, having to wear masks or travel by nightfall. It’s made clear that a virus caused this nightmarish universe and something unspoken caused people to no longer trust each other. The characters travel alone or in small groups, most appear untrustworthy except for the female protagonist that is speaking words of hope. She wants their old world back and believes it can be accomplished, but it won’t be without a fight. 

The filmmaker thought of everything for this film. The difference between day and night has great color correction. The day isn’t bright, which works for the dystopian future and the night barely has any color. The military factions breaking into a high technology government facility leaves more questions than answers, while the protagonist fights with a lone man that is clearly not on the side of the good guys. 

The trailer is put together in a very cinematic format. It feels like something that would come on before a film as a coming soon attraction. It leaves many questions unanswered, something that the feature film for CRISIS POINT would answer. This film does everything a trailer is supposed to do, it leaves the audience wanting more so that they will purchase a ticket to watch it on the big screen.
