Reviews The movie's not even out yet! |
Our first review resulted from an early test screening at Downtown Disney during the Indie Fest USA Film Festival. Peter Demmon drove nearly 6 hours to meet me, hang out, interview me, and watch an early cut of the movie. His take on it was so overwhelmingly postive, it actually influenced the final post production, and some of the direction I later went when finalyzing the edit, and even later doing the sound design and mix at Twickenham Film Studios in London. The embracing of the "badassness" of the story also helped me choose some of the eclectic music and hard hitting bands from Australia and the U.S. Since the movie has not even been seen in its completed state, we're pretty excited to start getting a lot of reviews and in-depth interviews on the web and radio... I try to spend the time talking about independent filmmaking and some of the trials and solutions we've come up with. I hope it's entertaining or enlightening... and maybe even a bit of both! All the sites below do kick ass reviews of both mainstream and indie films... check em out! |

Mediasaurs Badass Movie Reviews! |
"KERBEROS, directed by and starring Kely McClung, is the coolest independent crime drama you have never heard of. You will though. This is one of those special films that claws its way to the top and demands respect. With the tagline of “The gates of Hell go one way,” KERBEROS is named for the three-headed dog that guards those very gates. The film drags the viewer to that dog and forces a staredown. It is a protracted, visceral gaze into the abyss executed with devastating precision." The full Kerberos "Badass Movie Review" from Mediasaurs' Peter Demmon |

Poptimal Pop Culture Reviews from People Like You! |
"Terms like jack-of-all-trades and Renaissance man weren’t coined for Kely McClung, but they might as well have been. Stemming out of necessity and an active refusal to limit himself to one role, Kely makes feature films with high production values on shoestring budgets... Kely has co-opted the original Robert Rodriguez business model. Unlike Rodriguez, however, Kely is using it to make dramatic, character-driven crime thrillers and action sagas...His latest film is the dark, atmospheric and exciting crime thriller Kerberos, which blends action with pathos and character study." |

Film Snobbery Hosted by Nic Baisley |
"From there the story gets a little more complicated, with several of the characters in the movie having many interconnecting storylines that bring them all together at the end for a showdown. Kely paints a vivid picture with his characters, who are all given backstory and a richness that most mainstream studio films tend to ignore. McClung gives each character their moment in the movie..." |

Snap Dragon The razor's edge! |
"These are the heads of Kerberos, guardian of the underworld. The concept of Good Guy – Good Guy never comes into play in the upcoming film Kerberos. And rightfully so, as the hound only has three heads. But also because people are rarely, if ever, capable of being good guy-good guy for longer than a single action or series of interrelated events. Call it cynical if you like, but even saints are capable of cruelty and even sinners are capable of compassion. This recognition by writer/director Kely McClung is one of the more subtle yet engaging qualities about the project. The moral ambiguity gives depth to every character, large or small, both good and bad playing out onscreen as the results of choices made by each character. Ah, the existentialist dream! Since the whole story spans only 36 hours, the consequences of each choice are going to be amplified in the microcosm that the film presents. That means violence. A lot of violence. But this isn’t Quentin’s violence—violence for violence’s sake, gratuitous and shocking just because it can be. This is a more meaningful violence that more clearly illustrates the light and dark of each person." |

Interviews Radio and Web |
Kerberos and our director Kely McClung are starting to get some recognition - sometimes from sources that may not be obvious at first. The Rule Hollywood video interview might be expected, but interest and hour long radio interviews on shows like Dishing Tea (GLBT radio) and World Fusion radio on WorldStreams might not be... we're thrilled that someone thinks we have something worthwhile to say... after all... communicating is what the arts are for...
