IMPULSE Launches as #1 Short Film on iTunes and Garners Acclaim

Last month marked the iTunes release of IMPULSE, our short film which we chronicled the making of in this blog. We were blown away when -- during the film's first week of release -- it became the #1 most downloaded short film on iTunes. The news of IMPULSE's release quickly spread to JoBlo, Trailer Addict, Quiet Earth, and numerous social networking sites. Here's some of our favorite unfiltered viral highlights:

• "It's worth more than $1.99 IMPULSE is F'ing AMAZING!!!" - @SaxtyBaxty on Twitter
• "I downloaded. I watched. I laughed. I cried. It was an inspiration. But, seriously, excellent work. That was a packed 20min." - @ahbean on Twitter
• "Great short, gripping, scary, left me wanting more." - MalcolmInTheMiddle.co.uk

IMPULSE also received a stellar review from Mike Schulz of the River Cities' Reader, who writes that IMPULSE is "an entertainment of surprising elegance and profundity" and "...if life ends while watching a work as sharply rendered and inspiring as Impulse, that might be all right with me."

And this week, Film Threat gave IMPULSE a four star review, writing that it "lives in that upper echelon realm of films with a gorgeous look, sweet sound and slick editing" and "is a polished bit of filmmaking that hits its 'instability at world’s end' vibe perfectly".
