As a fan of Ryan Connolly's internet web series' Film Riot and Film State, I had been waiting for Tell to finally arrive since they first talked about it. When it finally was uploaded to Youtube, there was no disappointment, there was just awe. The fact that this short was able to be pulled off on the small budget it had is amazing. This is proof that films don't need millions of dollars to work. All they need is the right cast and crew. Mr. Connolly knocked it out of the park in terms of the style for this film. Todd Bruno.. well... he needs to get more jobs because he also knocked it out of the park. In fact, all of the cast did a great job, there wasn't one weak character. The cinematography is beautiful, even for such a dark film. The pacing is perfect and the suspense is, well... suspenseful. This short that I had been waiting for so long to see lived up to my expectations and then exceeded them. I can't wait to see where Ryan Connolly's and everyone else involved with this film's careers go. Help them out! Tell your friends about Tell.

First of all: This movie has been done on a very low budget. This hardly ever shows and I rated it like I would rate any other Hollywood-backed movie on IMDb, which might almost be a little unfair. Still, I have to give this movie high praises. It has a very simple story yet easily keeps you entangled for over 30 minutes (a very long runtime for a short-film).The story is based on "The tell-tale heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. The movie itself shortens it even further. It contains very little dialog and can be considered more of a mood piece. From the very beginning, the music, acting and cinematography keep the viewer at the edge of his seat and deliver suspense in an amazing yet not obvious way. The main character Taylor (Todd Bruno) carries the movie brilliantly, without his outstanding performance it would not have been the same. The same way would a lesser composer or cinematographer have left this movie boring and lifeless. As it is, this movie is very close to a perfect thriller and I can recommend it to anyone.Some minor things that bugged me: All the main actresses were not as convincing as I had hoped. There were some very slight focus issues at times. In very few places, I would have liked the score to be a little more quiet or non-present, to release the tension for just a second.Over all, I am very pleased with the movie and found it entertaining at least and brilliant at best. In comparison to big commercial films, I am rating it at 8/10 stars. For a very low budget film, I would easily give 10/10.

This movie is genius! Ryan Connolly has really built up the suspense in the film. It is a great Thriller/Horror movie with brilliant cinematography! The way the lights were used and the whole look and grade of the film was utterly amazing! Although I am a huge Filmriot fan, I love it even more, but besides that I would still of enjoyed this movie. The camera moves were brilliant and the scene where Todd goes outside and back in, and the last scene were amazing to watch! I can't wait for this Blu-Ray to come in my mailbox and watch it with full HD! Plus with the script! Awesome Job Triune Films! Really well done! Can't wait to see what you have next!

I'm a huge fan of Ryan's work on Youtube and I was super excited to see this movie since I watched it being made through all his shows. I was not disappointed! This movie is really scary and well put together. The budget might have been lower budget than some movies but you couldn't "tell" it. The quality was phenomenal and the film making superb. Some of the acting gets a little stiff at times but all in all this is a great ride! Ryan is a quality Director that will be making plenty of waves down the road. I look forward to following his career and saying, "Hey! I was there when he was just a wee little film guy with a YouTube show! He was a funny little man with a vision! Highly recommended!
