"Hector Is Gonna Kill Nate" by Ari Issler is a tense drama about a dedicated high school basketball coach and his emotionally charged students. Judging from the dedication in the end credits, the compelling main character appears to be a tribute to the filmmaker's father. This short world premieres in Aspen. -- from Indiewire.com At the end of Ari Issler's smartly visceral story of a high-school basketball coach who intervenes to stop an act of retribution, I wrote down the director's name. Then I noted his cinematographer (Jeffrey Kim) and editor (Matt Ruskin) They should all surface again. It's an agile bit of work with actual emotional payoffs. -- from the Denver Post.
My brother, Ari Issler's, short film premiered at the Aspen ShortsFest on Saturday. I am so proud of him!! And, his film brings me to tears every time and is so beautifully and skillfully done.
