Excellent short film

The production value of this short film 'The Killing of Mary Surratt" is an excellent example of how passion and creative vision come together using limited funds and a dedicated team to make something truly special. Produced on a 'non-Hollywood' budget and shot in Sacramento - the filmmaker paints an eerily accurate picture of the true events. The script, cinematography and acting are superb and in my opinion, King's short is a better film than the feature length version by Robert Redford that came out AFTER King's was completed. Chris King continues to impress and inspire us with his talent as a writer and a filmmakers as he consistently creates compelling films that make a big impact.
