David Branin's "Shoot-Out"

This award-winning short film has screened at  more than 20 International Film Festivals.   Tyshawn Bryant and Daniel Sol shine in this story of two men playing a basketball game of one-on-one...to the death!  

This isn't a movie strictly for basketball fans only, read this quote from Dumb Distraction,

"Writer/director David Branin manages to take this simple premise and deliver 14 unbelievably tense minutes that would make ol' Hitch himself proud. Hell, I generally hate sports movies, yet I found myself holding my breath as each man got closer and closer to scoring 15 points."

We're glad to announce that we haven't let down basketball fans either.  Here's what Einsiders.com Johnathan Hickman thinks, “The cinematography alone is enough to recommend the film.  As a long time player and student of the game of basketball, I’d say that Branin gives us a movie with an authentic roundball feel.”

Speaking of the cinematography, here's what other critics have to say. 

"The directing angles are so fantastic that I thought I was watching a Spike Lee movie."  - Tony DeFrancisco, Filmfanatix.com

"Indy movie or not, Shoot-Out offers some of the best basketball cinematography I've ever seen on screen."  - Anthony Selbitschka, Movie Patron   

"Never before have I seen such an artistic basketball game (on film or otherwise)" - Megan Giddings, Blogcritics.org

“Daniel Sol and Tyshawn Bryant are shot from impossible angles and the cinematographer manages to put you on the court and in the game.”
- Mark Slane, Elevationmag.com
