This sagaciously witty production serves as a reminder of the creative ingenuity that can make a short film as aesthetically sumptuous as a regular feature. In the course of 35 minutes, an important message is expressed subtly but in depth and through exquisite acting and the Oscar-winning plot. The film tells of an accountant whose bohemian and far out skills just might save the O’Dell family farm. He takes the O’Dell brothers on a journey that explores the plight of America\u2019s family farms and hidden corporate conspiracies.<\/p>\n
Ray McKinnon, who plays the role of the Accountant, directed this gem. It was produced by Walton Goggin, who plays character Tommy O’Dell; McKinnon’s real life wife, Lisa Blount, was the executive producer.<\/p>\n

Audiences should be prepared for 35 minutes of bravura cinema. Listening to the dialogue delivered in a robust southern accent made this reviewer experience a feeling quite similar to the experience of solving a puzzle. The dialect, accent and wording of the lines were tuned in with the essence of the plot allowing for the creation of a strong connection between the audience and the story.<\/p>\n
The cinematography’s coloring schemes with\u00a0 warm and vintage color grading will make viewers as if they have been transported to the farm and feel as though they are part of the unfolding drama on the O\u2019Dell\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
This film is a comedy of three southern man with very serious issues at task but as we get to know each character and observe the progression of their relationship with each other, we learn the important message behind the wittiness, sarcasm and humor: Family matters.<\/p>\n
