"In the Dark" is an American 15-minute live action short film from 2013, so this one will have its 5th anniversary next year. Writer and director is Bettina Bilger and she is also the lead actress in here. This is the story of a couple and the funny complications they run into during the early phases of their relationship. I must admit that early on I thought she was a burglar or something, but maybe that's just me. At times, I felt that this had promise, even if it probably wasn't the most memorable (short) film of all time. But then there were scenes like the one near the end when both are with others and talking so loud that they can hear it through the walls. This was definitely a bit on the embarrassing side. And also with everything that happened, like the scene I just mentioned, I would say it is unrealistic that they are getting back together actually, but that's exactly what they do at the very end. I think the performances were good by pretty much everybody, especially Bilger and Tuohy and McDonald, but all in all the film at its very core, i.e. the romance and the comedy, was simply not good enough. There were occasionally promising moments when I really wanted to like it, but eventually I gotta give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.

This movie is fantastic! An easy 11 out of 10.A fast-paced romp full of fun and color... Excellent directing and acting by the supremely talented star of the show, Bettina Bilger. Her humor and talents as an actor/director are strikingly apparent and one can't help but marvel at her ability to craft such a hilarious yet genuine and compelling storyline in the fifteen minute run-time. On several occasions I felt acute pain from laughing too hard... possibly my only complaint about the film.Can't wait to see what's next. An outstanding film that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

In The Dark is a clever comedy that holds your attention from start to finish. We've all been there---it starts with an attraction in a new relationship and soon the roller coaster ride begins. Through the ups and downs of New York life (or life in any metropolitan city) the journey begins. An entertaining love story with the talented cast and crew bringing us fresh, fun entertainment. The talented Todd Litzinger, Kelly Tuohy and of course Bettina Bilger bring this modern comedy to light. An enjoyable short film worthy of recognition. It brought flashbacks if my own experiences making the film very relatable but yet, it still held the element of surprise. I highly recommend this film for a good humorous time. The clever writing of Bettina Bilger along with all the lovely and talented cast make for a good time.

In The Dark, exceeded my expectations. Humor, wit, but most of all, In The Dark has heart. You care about the characters, which is something that is often overlooked in comedy. Bettina delivers a wonderful performance as a quirky, real, sometimes self-deprecating character. Her mismatched relationship with a Republican neighbor proves that the human connection we share as people is far more important than the labels we often use to divide us. I am excited to hear that Bettina is currently working on a full length script for her short. I am interested to see how her relationship develops not only with her love interest but also with her crazy next door neighbor, who has a strange and inappropriate relationship with his mother. In my opinion In The Dark is a must see short!
