This chilling authenticity is provided gravitas both in the finely crafted dialogue (written by Lee Kolinsky) which at times is deliciously crisp and biting as well as the fine performances of the main characters.
Written by Lee Kolinsky, this short walks a thin line between fantasy and a more traditional crime story. It's an interesting mix, and it sets up some really ambitious storytelling.
Writer Lee Kolinsky has written a story about a junkie that brings an entirely new element to the familiar story of drug addiction.
Lee Kolinsky certainly presents an unapologetically intense journey into the edgy world of drugs and addiction infused with a supernatural bend that twists the narrative into a more heady exposé about the fine line between redemption and damnation.
Bringing back the dramatic flair of “Requiem for a Dream,” Lee Kolinsky’s writing portrays a haunting image of what happens when a junkie goes too far.
It’s a straightforward narrative and visual film, but it’s a tightly paced piece of storytelling that does has some style in terms of it’s rhythm and musical score, and well performed. Really, that’s all you need to make a good film, and Kolinsky has made a very good one, indeed.
Kolinsky wrote a typical PTSD war vet film, with the not-so-typical dark angel needing his assistance in return for salvation aspect. Bravo for the creativity, because this plot is a breath of fresh air much needed to break away from the pack of cliche films. Originality is what makes this film a success.
The depiction of drug addiction here is grounded in a realism rarely seen in the glamorised versions we see from mainstream Hollywood pictures, and Halsey's performance is gritty, grim, desperate, convincing and worthy of the wins he has garnered from the role.

Written by Lee Kolinsky, the 25-minute short film Bullified is an emotionally compelling and intellectually stimulating film.
