REVIEWS
“The dusty landscape, its one general store, the music, and especially the shot of Oliver running out of the doorway reinforce the notion of a Western. But there is no glory to be had; Oliver, with his gentleness, is predestined to lose within the rotting framework. Line of Fire is a beautifully shot, well written tragedy."
“Potent and brimming with inter-generational rage, filmmaker Weston Porter's short film Line of Fire brilliantly captures the current climate found in many Western societies. It's a film jam-packed with discussion topics which could keep audiences chatting for hours, if not days, after viewing. This comprehensive and intelligent writing enhances Line of Fire as a short film greatly and audiences will feel in safe hands with Porter's excellent direction."
“Written and directed by Weston Porter, Line of Fire is a gut-wrenching, searing slice of life, that pulls no punches in exposing the harsh realities faced by teens trapped in a world of small-town Americana. It's a sentiment instantly relatable to anyone who's felt the suffocating grip of a place that seems destined to swallow dreams whole, a reflection of life in many small Christian towns across America. Line of Fire makes no apologies - it hits hard, driving home the raw consequences of abuse and the heartbreaking misuse of guns in a community with no escape valve. Highly recommended."
