Kill or be Killed (A short film)

As part of a last request, a hitman is forced to have lunch with his intended target, but there is more at stake than meets the eye in this suspense drama.

A WORD FROM CHRIS

Kill or be Killed is actually an English version of a previous short film I made in 2005 of the same name. Originally filmed with Asian actors and acted out entirely with Japanese and Mandarin dialog, Kill or be Killed (2005) was my first attempt at a suspense drama. I truly loved the film and over the last five years, have felt that an English version of this story might translate in an entirely different manner.

So with the help of my good friend, actor Roberto Lombardi and the amazingly talented Andrew Roth, I remade Kill or be Killed, but this time focusing on the hitman's side of the story rather than his target. The last thing I wanted was to completely copy myself. A good shifting of character was just what this film needed.

I liked this one, well shot. Good color correction. Acting was good and so was the dialogue was good. One question why dont you upload these in HD? It would look way better. Cuz i know your camera is HD. If i had to rate this i would give you a 7.5

@ShadowManV3 i have limited uploading options. plus if people wanna see them in hd, they can always buy a dvd off my site. the film may be free, but the resolution is limited.

@PacoPapo Well my comments to begin with were not rude or at least were not meant to be that way. I just stated my honest opinion on your performance in this particular video. I dont dislike your acting at all, I thought you were great as Freddy Krueger. I guess it was just this performance, doesnt mean I dont like your acting.

@King2123 The girl who commented, Debbie, is not an actor so it has nothing to do with experience in the entertainment business. As I said, she's been a huge supporter of my work and is a fan of mine. Fans will step in and defend actors when someone bashes them or their work. Looks like she read what you wrote about me, checked out your channel and replied...

I personally wasn't offended by what you wrote. As I said, I don't expect that everyone will like me or my work.

@PacoPapo Yeah it is. I am trying to break in and its rough. I also am proud at the fact that I too developed thick skin. But it was just my opinion on the video, if people freak out over an opinion it just shows their inexperience.

[PacoPapo]

@King2123 Wow... Debbie is probably my biggest fan and fans get defensive about the films/music/people that they are really into. This business is tough and not everybody will like you. That's why I have developed a thick skin...
