A Perfect Place is a 25-minute short film, written, directed, edited, and produced by Derrick Scocchera, co-founder of Fantoma films. Fantoma Films is an independent label that has specialized in rare and cult titles prior to this release. A Perfect Place marks their first entry into the original film market. It is a modest production that uses its low budget roots to craft an interesting short involving accidental murder, old ladies, beat up cars, and unexpected results.

Mark Boone, Jr. (Batman Begins, 30 Days of Night) is Tom, a strange and quiet man who we first meet holding a bass guitar over the fallen body of a friend. Standing next to him is the tightly wound Eddie, played by Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects, Carnivale). Eddie is incredulous over what he has just witnessed. They look at the prone body of their friend. The man lies dead on the floor as Eddie and Tom talk about what they are supposed to do next. Well, the obvious answer is get rid of the body, but where and how?

Eddie knows what to do; he has "a perfect place." However, before they can jet off, they must obtain transportation. I would love to say more, but this being a short film, I would not be able to go very much further without giving everything away.

There is not much to the movie, but it is easy to slip into the situation. It almost feels as if one sequence was taken out of a larger work, giving us a glimpse into the results of the first act, while leaving us out of the consequences in the third act. Still, it works perfectly well as a short film unto itself.

The acting is spot on. Mark Boone, Jr. is rather creepy and unsettling. He doesn't say or do all that much, but he comes across as someone who could snap at any moment. Meanwhile, Bill Moseley brings a touch of the frantic to Eddie, sort of like his Otis character from The Devil's Rejects if he was on the receiving, rather than the giving, end. The two work well together, and the sequence with the old woman (Isabelle Maynard) is quite humorous.
