Love You Tyler Short Film
Devon Diffenderfer (Writer/Co-Director/Star) has created a blazing short that will captivate and bring a whole lot of laughs to its audience. The film explores male masculinity and sexuality with a rich comical undertone. Diffenderfer and Ryan Pater deserve high praise for their rib-tickling performances – a match made in comedy heaven. Visually, the film is shot with outstanding cinematography throughout – aiding the viewing pleasure immensely. Sound and post-production are equally commendable. A thoroughly entertaining watch. Highly recommended.
