DeKalb Elementary Reviews
San Antonio Current
Kiko Martinez
The dynamic between actors Tarra Riggs and Bo Mitchell is authentic and humanistic as writer/director Reed Van Dyk allows the scene to take form one heartbreaking second after another.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Dan Lybarger
Writer-director Reed Van Dyk gives both actors remarkably meaty if not flashy roles and avoids the temptation for long monologues, which would kill any narrative tension.
Diario La Estrella (Fort Worth, TX)
Laura Hiros
The story based on a real 911 call in the suburbs of Atlanta will make your heart pound... [Full review in Spanish]
Anchorage Press
Indra Arriaga
The characters are complex and the acting superb.
Arts Fuse
Peg Aloi
A truly devastating piece, given the recent mass murder in Parkland, Florida, but it unfolds with an almost eerie calm.
ArtsATL
Steve Murray
A filmmaking lesson in knowing how to get the utmost dramatic power by keeping things simple.
Film School Rejects
Christopher Campbell
There should be special Oscars for lead performances in short films, too, because Riggs especially is outstanding.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Josh Terry
Even though the film is remarkably restrained in terms of content, its impact is staggering.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
Though based on a true story, Dekalb Elementary struck me as somewhat flat.
