Ryan is a great young filmmaker. I have seen hundreds of professional reels and shorts and while there are lots of talented filmmakers out there; Eslinger is the real deal.
It's rare that a young person can take such a small amount of money and make a successful film, so many things can go badly wrong. Madness and Genius is a good movie that stays with you. Tom Noonan is great and while I don't disagree about the poor supporting cast the technical aspects of the film are top notch.
Another thing to note: Ryan must be a focused young man because this movie is 'tight'. It feels like a testament to someone who spent their money carefully and put a LOT of time into this project. See it if you can (not sure how) and let people know it's a great movie.
