NightTide Magazine Review: “Pit Stop”
The tagline of the film, “Pit Stop”—A prisoner and guard are stranded and out of gas, but they’re not alone—is executed with tension and surprises by writer/director David Flores.
The topic of this film couldn’t be timelier and is bolstered by stellar performances from Emily Sweet and Mary Rose Branick. Check out my full review at NightTide Magazine!

Ooh. Love this. Playing with language, psyche. And the twist, right at the end. Well crafted.
