Surreal LA
aliciaschulz127 February 2022
This was a very trippy film with a positive message. A love note to the city of Los Angeles and a very random love story. Semi action but also romance reminiscent of futuristic classics.

The story is good but the movie is bad.

GB looks so simple and stupid but GG seems like a beautiful and bright woman.

The actors weren't very charismatic and the movie was very long and there was a lot of talk.

They can improve it because the story was great.

What on God's green earth did I just watch?
MovieCriticOnline15 February 2022
This was beyond a student film. The acting was wooden, the writing was ridiculous , the color grading a joke. It was like they ran the film through 14 instagram filters. And the overuse of flares.

The leads were uncharismatic and there was way too much talking.

SKIP!!!!

Seize a sleeping pill..........................
imseeg17 February 2022
The good: you dont have to watch it. There is something that is called "free will".

The bad: Bingo. It's amateur hour! This movie has been made. By somebody who is incapable of making movies. Completely incapable.

Works quite well as a sleeping pill!

A fun and sad adventure
infectedforlife15 February 2022
This is not a movie for everyone, but it has the makings of a cult classic. The contradiction of colourful scenes and characters against the sadness of the story is a great touch. If you like odd indie dramas with comedic undertones, check this out.

I cried
sarahannelovescats16 February 2022
I've been waiting for this to come out for a while! Happy I'm finally able to watch it. Originally called Carpe Noctem, so I was confused at first, but I guess movies change names sometimes. What a bitter sweet story told in a way that no one other than Gene could tell it. Great work!

We love Pasha Gerard and Nina Bergman!
scrappygelato19 August 2022
Visually excellent! Seize The Night was consistently engaging. Awesome work Nina Bergman; one of her best works. I was already a huge fam of NB from her character in, A Call of Duty Black Ops 3. Pasha Gerard wrote an excellent story and I appreciated his performance in this film. As an artist myself, I appreciated the blue lens that the director used showcasing the simplicity and beauty of Hollywood. Look for the details the funny lines in the movie. Appreciate the arts and support independent film makers! I look forward to more work from you Pasha Gerard!

Dark and Moody Vibes mixed with Beautiful Cityscapes and Dialogue
phandeazy10 October 2022
This is film dives into the deep topics of loss, loneliness, redemption, and finding oneself in a large and isolating city. The angst and tension is relived by tender moments and the humorous dialogue between GB the drug dealer and GG the music sensation. During nightfall, the city comes alive with clandestine clubs and a burgeoning underbelly of those who seek refuge in the dark corners of Los Angeles, hiding behind a gothic facade but only truly wanting to be accepted. The film inspires us to cherish these fleeting moments of life and to make the most out of what we have been given... with an uncanny acknowledgement that we all have our baggage and past traumas but should still seek the better sides of life despite our shortcomings. Pasha Gerard (GG) and Nina Bergman (GB) deliver a quirky and charismatic performance that keeps you captivated throughout. A must watch for the nocturnal kind.

A Tragic Love Story
greatjohannascott11 May 2022
Finally got around to watching this indie gem. What a great love story painted on such an artistic canvas. The super-saturated neon drenched backdrop lends to the drug induced hyper fantasied love story. If you're expecting a big budget thriller, you should probably skip this one, but if you enjoy small cult/indie films, give this one a go. I really enjoyed it.

Intricate Masterpiece
grahm-5893519 August 2022
Such an amazing intricate masterpiece beautiful light sequences and interesting scenes with awesome music which matches the moment. Both actors gave convincing roles Pasha gave a true heartfelt portrayal of a multi faceted man struggling with the darkness of his gloomy ethereal environment. Nina gave also a beautiful performance which I will never forget. Both together gave such light to the screen and a created Gothic masterpiece already a huge fan from call of duty black ops III but this made me an even bigger fan. Can't wait to see what else this brilliant Writer/Actor has for the future Pasha Girard I wish you the absolute best.

Great Writing
somotennis19 August 2022
Not really my first pick in movie genres since I don't really watch darker or gothic type films but that said the excellent writing won me over. This movie's story is written a lot better then most of the movie story lines that are being put out especially in the past few most recent years. Hopefully the people who produced this film will consider writing and producing movies in others genres. The writing is superb and I look forward to exploring what comes next for this production team.
