    Check this out!

    I saw this film at the Boston Film Festival, and I have to say that I was very impressed by what these students did. Unlike most student films, it actually looked like something I would have paid $8.50 to see, and it had some great characters. The acting was decent, but the movie belongs to Steven Kozlowski, who I saw in the similar "Southie". My only problem with this movie is that the story was too complex for a short film, but I'd love to see it turned into a full-length movie. If you get the opportunity to see this film, check it out!

    See it - good little first film! Well directed, written, acted

    The Good Man's Sin is a great little student film!! Written; produced; and directed by first time director Peter Sullivan, this film is his thesis from NYU (I learned all this from the Press Kit). Check out the great performances by Steven Kozlowski (as Brendan) Richard Clark (as Thomas) and Alexandra Boylan (as Andrea). The cast of unknowns is great in this gritty tale of crime, corruption, and family set against the backdrop of Boston's "Southie." The cinematography by unknown DP Alex Baker is also great for a student film. All in all, "The Good Man's Sin" is VERY professional. This director definitely has talent and shows much more promise than, let's say, Bret Ratner did in his NYU Student short - "Whatever Happened to Mason Reese" I'm looking forward to seeing more films from this up and comer and would certainly reccommend it for your view

    • Trivia
      The body being carried away in the ambulance at the end of the movie is actually the director, who was hit on the head by the falling dummy used in the previous shot. Because of time restraints, the two assistant directors continued shooting while the director was in the hospital. The director returned to work two hours later.
