Extraordinary review of Pat Kelman’s film ENCOUNTERS

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 12:31:24 +0000

Pat Kelman’s film Encounters: Speed Dating Can Hurt was released on DVD in the US on November 24th.

It sold out in its first week on Amazon, but is now back in stock.

Here is a review I found on Your Movie Reviews.com:

“The performances were terrific, with the relaxed realism that made the film all the more dramatic. A beautifully observed slice of life that will resonate with everyone and will tug at the heart strings. Funny (actually hilarious in places) and at the same time guaranteed to make you shed a tear as well. Bizarre and perfect in many ways. I recommend you see it soon.”

Thanks you, Sherry McWilliams!!

Archive: Tail Slate reviews ENCOUNTERS

In 2006 TAIL SLATE gave ENCOUNTERS three stars out of four, calling the film:

“… entertaining and emotional. The performances were terrific, with a relaxed realism that made the film all the more dramatic. I also think it would be easy for most people to find a connection to one or more of the characters as they struggle to find companionship and romance in this cold modern world.”

ENCOUNTERS is due for US and International DVD release in November 2009.

ELEPHANT BOY has the honour of being selected for the Festival’s Short Film Competition.

The films are all award-winners at the online Short and Documentary film competition website, Filmaka.com. Filmaka’s founder, “Bend It Like Beckham” producer Deepak Nayar, responded to the news with”Congratulations, hopefully we shall make a full length feature with Pat.”
