I saw this short on the Sci-Fi network. It was pretty good for a 10-minute movie. Kind of funny and a clever premise. I only wish maybe it would have been a little longer. Good first directing/writing job by ex-Trekkie McNeill.

Michael(O'Bryan, anxious yet determined) feels he has only one path to take. So he finds a phone booth, and makes the most important call of his life. Now he has to meet up with Mr... sorry... he doesn't go by that... he doesn't look like a Mister, anyway... Cue(Lumbly, pre-Alias, already a badass). Together, they have to get to Julia(Vassey, making an impression), and carry it out. And I'd be remiss not to mention Guy(Phillips, talking fast and not realising whether or not the person he's speaking to is necessarily completely following what he's saying... so a couple of the key aspects of Neelix. Clearly, Robert Duncan McNeill, here acting as writer and director, does not share his Voyager character's frustration with the ship's chef).

I intentionally kept the plot synopsis vague, and I implore you, please do not look up what this is about. You'll realise over the course of watching. As for where and how to do that, it's currently free on YouTube. This is listed as comedy and crime. I'd argue you could add "action" as a genre, albeit note that that's on a more personal level, not a big blowout. It's funny without trying too hard. This is 10 minutes long.

I recommend this to anyone who feels what I wrote here piqued their interest. 8/10
