Review By: Rob Sibley
Before I start this review I think it's important to state what I consider to be an "independent film". Those two words are thrown around more often then I like. To me a true independent film costs less then 30K to make. To me that's the true spirit of Indie film, it means the filmmakers did it for a passion of movie making. They didn't do it for the fame or the glory or the money.
Demon Hunters is one of those films, a true Independent gem. Made for next to nothing, the film takes a high concept and does it on a shoe-string budget and actually pulls it off. So many filmmakers have had their hearts in the right place but failed to execute. Usually due to sloppy screen writing or iffy acting.
I'm happy to report that Demon Hunters for the most part avoids all of these pitfalls by smartly setting the action in basically one location. It also doesn't take itself seriously at all which is refreshing to say the least.

Movie Review: No Clowning Around (2012)
Reviewed By: Rob SibleyHave you ever seen a balloon animal made out of human intestines? What about a down on his luck clown who's best friend is a talking puppet? Didn't think so. Well that's what makes Rob Dimensions 25 minute short film “No Clowning Around” so special.
Now I'm hard to impress with short films, usually they try
to take a clever idea and run with it but even at short running times they
rarely impress. This film is not one of those, it's a statement from Rob
Dimension that if you give the man a camera and a little coin he can spin a
tale with enough substance to warrant a feature film version.
I must admit, before watching this film I had no idea what
to expect. The plot concerns a clown by the name of Mumbles... he's a drunk,
his girlfriend is a junkie and well... he just doesn't give a shit about life
much. Getting by on bottles of hootch and his one friend the talking puppet by
the name of Mr. Peepers.
If Kevin Smith &William Lustig teamed up I could see the final product looking
something like this. Rob Dimension not only stars in the film but also is the
co-director/writer alongside the equally talented Matthew Burd, who edited and
did the cinematography.
