On the Horizon (2016)

This movie is visually STUNNING! Absolutely, one thousand percent, one of the best films I've ever seen! POETIC, HAUNTING & with so much depth, it will stay with you long after. The actors are positively GORGEOUS, but there are so many levels of complexity to the characters they depict. The sceneries are ETHEREAL. The music is truly CAPTIVATING.The story line is so COMPELLING, you will continue to think about and reflect on it long after the ending. This film makes you FEEL to the extreme. The PASSION is off the charts! If I had to describe it in one word it would be INTENSE, in a way that is indescribable but incredibly SATISFYING. ! If I had missed this film, I would have always felt a void. It's one of those movies that make you say "Wow, THIS is what I've always been looking for my whole life!" It is truly a BRILLIANT piece of ART! Pascal Payant is a force to be reckoned with, a VISIONARY & a breath of fresh air!

"On the Horizon", a drama-thriller, the first feature film by writer/director/cinematographer Pascal Payant, is, quite simply, a triumph. The film is a joy to watch, with spectacularly beautiful scenery, fantastic soundtrack music, and interesting character development.Watching this movie, I felt as if I was taken on a journey--both emotional and physical-- by the cinematography and the music.The protagonist in "On the Horizon" is Casey, a handsome, motorcycle-riding photographer who enjoys the benefits of his good-looks and his suave charm that enables him to lure models to bed. At first glance, he appears to have it all. But, does he? Despite Casey's penchant for fast vehicles and wild women, he longs for intimacy with a woman who he can trust.These two opposing forces--the freedom to rise above the mundane and the desire to have someone trustworthy enough to share his life with--war within him. In this movie, the locations, the cinematography, the music, and the actors who inhabit this landscape, all combine to make "On the Horizon" a film that is unique and mesmerizing, memorable. Watching it, I could almost feel the heat rising from the screen. This film is a fantastic rumination on the nature of relationships. At the end of the day, we are left to conclude that human nature has no warning signs. Watch "On the Horizon". This movie will change the way you see the world.

Objectively and subjectively, this movie is outstanding! I can't say anything but good things about this film. For a film with such a low budget, the director did an amazing job combining a great storyline, ethereal scenery, and mesmerizing soundtracks. The framing of each scene, and development of characters were all very clever, and well executed..something you don't find much of these days. What I like most about the movie is that the director takes the universal theme of "love" and showcases it in a very real and raw way. Your sure to connect with one or more of the characters in some way. I am positive you'll enjoy this film! It'll have you feeling every emotion on the spectrum, and will leave you wanting more of Casey and Elissa! Enjoy!

Unbelievable considering the pittance of a budget. I did my best to fact check this as it has gorgeously stunning cinematography and solid acting. It truly is a showcase of what talent and determination can accomplish. I had never heard of Pascal Payant but I'm now a fan, I can't wait to see what he creates as his career unfolds. It's a story of love, lust, pain, and reality that most of us have come to know. A dizzying cocktail of the above that stirs and resonates. You admire and simultaneously despise the characters as they blissfully, yet recklessly swirl through their relationships, nearly poisoning all that care. Amazing locations are brought down to reality as Casey and Ellisa bring "our" own story and faults to the table. It's a healthy look into selfishly unhealthy emotions we have all felt. I highly recommend this film to anyone, especially if you appreciate beauty in all its forms. The characters are mesmerizing and flawed. Everything comes together in a surreal but sober work of mind and heart.
