Director statement: $TACK$, at its core, is a film that holds a mirror up to every viewer and every member of our society offering them the opportunity to see the best and the worst in themselves. Upon first view almost everyone misses the stinging social commentary and myriad of clues teasing the audience as to what’s truly unfolding on screen. Purposefully daring them to confront the judgments and assumptions in their own minds. What judgements will you make and how will they affect your views of Magdalena, Hector, Ty, Rube, Momo and Jordan? In the end what do those judgements reflect within you?
“The high production values and quality of actor on-screen just add to the overall feeling. It is a clever and confident debut that pays off superbly due to the meticulous lead-in.“

Movie Short Review: ‘$tack$’ – RedCarpetCrash.com
Greetings again from the darkness. The set-up is a familiar one. Two tough guys, armed with weapons, snap at each other about the meeting that is about to go down. Tensions are high. Taking place in an underground garage for privacy, and as the SUV approaches, the two men bow up – looking ready for action.
