Hope you've enjoyed this opening scene, who wants to see what happens next in a full length feature?

[@jwwilliam6333]

wow....what a teaser.

[@gamingguru4U]

Bro this short was fire. I’m a big fan of your work and this short is probably one of my favorite. Keep up the great work man.

[@BlakeRidder]

@@gamingguru4U thanks man. Really appreciate it.

[@gamingguru4U]

@@BlakeRidder no problem brother. I just hope that one day my work will be this good .

[@citlalix4361]

Man, I need to see the rest of the film!!!

[@fantuzastic]

Blake.. I’ve seen several of your films and loved every one of them. This one is very powerful. I hope it is viewed by the many people who are oblivious to the circumstances that it reveals and especially by the people who are in a position to do something about it. I really enjoy your sense of humor and irony that are evident in your other films.

[@BlakeRidder]

Hey Charlie. Thanks for being a serial watcher if my films. Glad you enjoyed this hidden gem 😊

[@BdogMusic]

Wow, that was damn good, I mean really good. I was just checking as usual to see the power of the Blackmagic Camera and totally forgot about that as I got totally pulled into the film. That was powerfully perfect in every way..... Amazing !!!!!!

[@KutWrite]

For me, even the opening credits were professional quality and led us into the story.

[@christianstevens8750]

Guaranteed a slow build of tension with a ridder film which pulls you in for the climatic ending... Looking forward to seeing more 👍

[@r.k.wageeshadewanmina9364]

this is just Blake ridder posting messages on his own shit lol.

[@tableron]

Oh boy! We need part two please!

[@pong6377]

Wow, this was really great. I don't know who said it, but I remember a director/writer saying that "the most personal is the most universal". I think that this short definitely prove that to be true once again. I know that this is meant to show the brutality (idk the right word) of the police from the states. And I as a Filipino can definitely relate to the fear that the family is experiencing because it's pretty hard to trust the cops now in the Philippines, especially since the current administration seems to support the brutality, as seen with the extra judicial killings that's so prevalent that people kinda just got used to it now.

[@TheKing-cy1ef]

I agree with u and it is good now that this crazy criminal psycho gangster "Duterte" has gone already!!

[@fantuzastic]

@Pong- I couldn’t believe how the people of your country were told lies and manipulated to elect Marcos. He figured the timing was right; anyone who might have remembered the corruption of his parents’ regime was dead or too old to have any impact. It broke my heart to see the young people mouthing the propaganda as if it was gospel!

[@Benjo-mv1gz]

Great acting and production all round. I love stumbling upon these gems of short films. It’s great to see the big screen is in safe hands with talent like this knocking on the door.

[@bela2462]

this is incredible! and should become a feature, I would definitely watch it!

[@AxiA]

Loved it!! Inglorious basterds vibes !! Great stuff

[@miblish5168]

This is SO like thje opening scene in Inglorious Basterds, even the introduction of BG music.

[@BlakeRidder]

The exact inspiration I got it from

[@Johnmarkin]

I really enjoyed this! The suspense!!!! Well done!

[@bliiblaablue]

Good job, this one was actually great! I watched few of your previous shorts and imho this was a huge jump in overall quality.

[@jwwilliam6333]

loved the suspense...it was driving me crazy. I had the urge to go to the bathroom but decided not to. I could have easily paused the video but being so intrigued, i continued to watch it all the way through.

[@BlakeRidder]

Rule number 1 - Always go to the bathroom before watching a Ridder Films movie 😉

[@jwwilliam6333]

@@BlakeRidder lol....

[@fantuzastic]

With a Ridder film, there’s a risk of pissing your pants even if you don’t have to go!

A Short Film About Police Corruption: AKA "Oxymoron".

[@thenebraskan6977]

A very story about real life police corruption. A good film.

[@greyteam9445]

Very nice short and great visuals but I’ll be honest it’s best to stay original with the title. It’s pretty much exactly like omeleto, I think the manor title changed about 10 times too

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks Grey. I see your point. But the title of this film wouldn’t make sense to just this opening scene. Hence the descriptive title.

[@KutWrite]

As usual, great job all 'round. I got to hating those cops in about 30 seconds! I'd watch parts 2+ if they come about.

[@fatdramahustler532]

I need to see full but its really sad !!!

[@Sean_and_Patrick_Carnahan]

Stop spreading hate towards police officers who spend all day risking there lives. Doctors murder more ppl than police. I love and respect our police. It’s disappointing to see this on here. Also I’m from Taiwan. Im. It saying that this doesn’t happen but it’s not ok to spread messages like this. Spread awareness in other ways please. Disappointing. (But good film.)

[@georgemiller151]

Hi Blake. I’ve loved the previous shorts of yours that I’ve watched, but this one really didn’t work for me, probably because I grew up in New York City. Not an NYPD patrol car…and who allows a cop in their house without a full explanation first or a search warrant? New York City is a sanctuary city: the local police do not cooperate with the federal government regarding visa violations. Doesn’t look like a poor neighborhood. The windows are strange. Is this shot in New York? And drawing a gun on an illegal immigrant? All to add a little on a mere $2000 bribe? And shooting her when she drops a cup of tea? And why search for the daughter anyway? The fact that the mother is blocking the hallway is sufficient proof to ask for another $1000. But why would cops risk their careers and jail time for such petty amounts? This might be plausible in Britain, but to someone who grew up in New York, it doesn’t seem believable.

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks for the feedback. All very reasonable points. This is what we could do with the budget we had. Also this is an opening to a feature I’ve written so the story doesn’t end here.

[@r.k.wageeshadewanmina9364]

@@BlakeRidder yea but Blake mate, this about it, the budget had NOTHING to do with the story and script being so poor.

[@DAZZER435]

Is there a continuation?

Where can i see the full movie ???

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I KNOW BUT WHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYY😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Thrillmasters]

this sorta reminds me of the opening scene from inglorious basterds

[@louisjamesactor]

Great work

[@ЕленаВладимировна-э5г]

It's really super! I enjoy this video very much🥰. Thank you 🙏

[@bigchiefcinema9654]

amazing work, keep it up.

[@muryloy8692]

Everything else is great. I like the flow. But. Conversation is too much. Doesn't have that 'watch me please' kind of vibe. Something is amiss. I like the direction though.

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks Mury. Appreciate the feedback. Yes, this is a talky scene. Got the inspiration from the opening of inglorious basterds

[@alwaysuseless]

I have doubts about credibility. It doesn't look at all like the crime-ridden neighborhood the officer says it is. Putting gum on the dining table seems over the top. The daughter's crying out, actually making a sound under these circumstances, is unlikely. Also, her jumping out of a 2nd-story window and escaping is dubious. Perhaps she opened the window to give that impression and actually hid in a closet?

[@jwwilliam6333]

It is plausible that she may have jumped out of the window. heck if I was hiding and just witnessed my parents being murdered by crooked cops, you really don't have time to think properly; I would have been out of there like a bat out of hell screaming my ass off.

[@alwaysuseless]

@@jwwilliam6333 She may or may not have jumped out the window. If she can do that without injury and can run, say, to a neighbor's house that could be better than opening the window and hiding in a closet. I suppose you could also hide flat on the roof. I was just trying to be helpful by pointing out problems.

[@jwwilliam6333]

@@alwaysuseless I did not see a problem how the ending was portrayed. most people would have been in shock to witness something like that, and not thinking clearly, instinct would have forced one to quickly escape through the window. now the plot twist would be that she is hiding in the closet as you suggested or maybe hiding under the bed is a possibility. Ridder did an excellent job leaving it to our imagination. i am hoping for a full feature film to find out.

[@alwaysuseless]

@@jwwilliam6333 How the daughter escaped is not the only problem. And again, I'm not trying to be critical just for the sake of being critical. Another interesting question is how the daughter or someone is going to find out who the bad cops are, so that revenge or justice can be exacted, even if it's 3 years later. Presumably, the cops are not going to report their "little visit." I wonder if the investigators can get a thumb print or DNA from the chewing gum or the coffee cup.

[@jwwilliam6333]

@@alwaysuseless my friend.... every cop in every local police department knows who the bad cops are. the problem is, most of the good cops keep quiet for fear of retribution. cops have even gotten other cops killed. and I'm glad you brought up the chewing gum. placing the gum on the table was not over the top as you suggested in your earlier post. the minute he placed that gum on the table, I yelled out jerk and I knew that they were up to no good because a good cop would not have done such a thing. this mini-clip was exciting to watch and I'm looking forward to the full feature film.

it was good until he shot the mum...

[@verukasault9065]

What a ridiculous, dishonest, racist, vile movie. Absolutely appalling! Unsubbing.

[@jwwilliam6333]

dishonest??.... I truly believe corrupt cops are out there making these type of deals with illegal immigrants and I don't believe the cop meant to shoot her. if she had not stood in the way, he would have simply gone upstairs, found the child and demanded more money, maybe another grand and the cops would have left the premises. that would have been my boring ending; but fortunately Ridder is the director and was very creative with this one and he is oriental himself and I don't believe he meant any disrespect.
