"The Other Side" is an enthralling film that twisting the viewers sympathies and expectations. Jessica is beautifully acted by Adele Taylor. She conveys the many facets of the character - from innocent victim to cold psychopath. Josh Wingate (as Richard) manages to begin as an angry, hateful man and lead the viewer to cheer for him as the true victim. The screenplay (by John Humber) is an intricately woven tale that tangles the emotions of the viewer who struggles to keep track of good and evil at each twist. The film is also beautifully shot. I look forward to seeing their work in the future. So many of today's films are trite and poorly written that is refreshing to see something that feels new and creative. I wish the studios were paying attention.

I saw this film at HollyShorts Film Festival and thought it was a great short film. The film is set in one location - a prison visitation room. Through experience - I know how hard it can be to deliver a compelling story in 15 minutes or less, especially in only one setting, and I so give kudos to John Humber for writing such a great script.

Adele Heather Taylor portrayed a young student of journalism who visits a prisoner, played by Josh Wingate, on death row. From the minute these two actors face each other - we feel the tension and the atmosphere.

Adele showed a huge range of emotion in her performance - something that young actresses nowadays often have trouble with. She's an actress I will be looking out for in the future. Josh was very well cast as a death row inmate, due to his intense stare and tough exterior. Subtle things, such as his voice, brought a lot of realism to the film. Bravo!

Congratulations to John Humber (Writer/Director), Adele Heather Taylor (Actress, Producer), Josh Wingate (Actor) and all the other crew members. A great collaboration of artists.
