When FATAL PICTURES' partner/producer Zach Green informed me that he, Director Richard Powell, and actor Robert Nolan had another short film for me to take a look at, I was thrilled to pieces. Their last endeavor: WORM, truly fractured my psyche. Not only was it emotionally taxing, but it also played heavily on thoughts and feelings many of us often toy with, but never act upon. Being a family man myself, I was a bit nervous knowing that FAMILIAR's narrative existed in a world I have been fully immersed in for the better part of 10 years. Thankfully I can say with complete honesty that I've never entertained the types of fantasies our central character laments throughout the film's run time. However, the writer/producer/director team once again dabble quite aggressively in the recesses of a guy's mind who's pretty much "had it." Not just had it with his own life, but with the lives of those around him. Read full review here.
