"A powerful game of one upmanship with Rebecca Pidgeon delivering on her end of the acting."

-MOVING PICTURES MAGAZINE

"If you enjoy film noir, put Cat City on your must-see list. This involving crime thriller directed by Brent Huff boasts all your favorite elements – sex, violence and money – as well as the dark, somber tone and pessimistic mood these movies require. Adding to the film’s quality are fine performances by Rebecca Pidgeon, Julian Sands, Brian Dennehy, Alano Massi and Shawn Huff, who bring their characters to life with an intensity that holds our interest throughout. Cat City contains crisp dialogue and suspenseful situations. It’s a clever little film that keeps us guessing while offering some interesting surprises."

-REEL TALK - BETTY JO TUCKER

"This fantastic story is about love, faith, endurance, and forgiveness. Crystal Bernard brings her character to life with her easy going style and sweet smile that makes you feel like part of the congregation. This uplifting movie includes some wonderful music and inspirational messages that will leave the entire family blessed and entertained."

-THE DOVE FOUNDATION

"Welcome to Paradise" is a family film that, while long on values, spreads the Good News through kindness between people versus sermonizing on celluoid. Crystal Bernard skillfully anchors the lead role with honesty. She carries the film on her feminine shoulders, making it look effortless. The cast is studded with sure-handed veterans, led by film and stage luminary Brian Dennehy, who lends deep credibility to a film just by walking in front of the camera. It seems he never fumbles a beat as an actor. Ever."

-THE RELIGION NETWORK

"Welcome to Paradise is a welcome change from the usual cinematic fare- a truly family-oriented film. This heartwarming story is entertaining while conveying spiritual lessons of value in real life. The story charts the challenges of a female minister in a small town. It is excellent family, and Christian entertainment."

-TODAY'S PENTECOSTAL EVANGEL

"Let�s say this Bernard and actors Connie Ray, Brian Dennehy and William Shockley (who also co-wrote this script) steal this film. Director and co-writer Brent Huff directs this film simple and without too many arty directive angles. The small film has got a heart the size of Texas."

-THE AUDIOWORLD

"It would be easy for a cynical person to dismiss the short film Hero, and that’s really part of the film’s point. In a world where good people find themselves victims of their environment, unexpected or undeserved circumstances or just unlucky in who they got as parents, it’s easy to forget about, or outright scorn, the idea of a real-life hero.
In this scenario, young Gina (Aimee Wood) is unable to rouse her alcoholic mother and is forced to call in an ambulance. Once at the hospital, it becomes clear that the likelihood of Gina’s mother recovering is not looking too good, and, worse still, Gina is all alone. One doctor becomes particularly sympathetic to Gina’s situation and makes a choice that will change both his and Gina’s lives.
Despite the dark subject matter and plight of Gina (and her friends, as we learn later on in the short), this film really lives in the realm of sweet and uplifting. The idea here is that heroes can exist, and they’re usually not unhinged psychopaths in costumes trying to avenge lost loved ones. Instead, a hero can be that person who says the right thing at that perfect time, or makes a gesture that seems small at first, but makes all the difference in the world.
Again, this short is not for cynics (though there is a slight level of ambiguity in the sweetness that could be interpreted in a number of cynical ways). This is about saving a life, with a small touch of spiritual whimsy, and not wallowing in the despair of circumstances."

"If you watch short films for any duration you become accustomed to the variances in the quality of the films and the talents of the filmmakers. Often one item or the other lacks that "something" that will propel those involved towards greater things in the industry, but still there is often plenty to enjoy with the unique stories or clever uses of content. This is why when you get a short that is completely filled with quality it takes you by surprise. "Lap Dancing" is an example. The production values, the story, and even the acting were all uniform in their professionalism, and the best part of all was they were all delivered with subtlety. No camera tricks, no over-the-top emoting, and no audacious plot contortions were needed. Rob Fitzgerald is featured (in a story he wrote) as a strip club patron in a plot that is straightforward and humorous and offers up an even funnier twist in the end. The plot clicked perfectly while Huff's direction, and the cinematography, effortlessly revealed the story. These are people who have more things coming in the future, and here is hoping we will see those things soon.
