“Vessel” has been featured on both Aint It Cool News and Giant Freaking Robot!

Here is what Aint It Cool has to say (check out the full article HERE):

“Oh hell yes, this short is flipping awesome, a hell of a way to kick off this weeks swan dive into the strange and creepy. Clark Baker’s film kicks all kinds of ass, from the acting, to the creature design… I’m all over this one. Clark, what the hell have you got up next? Seriously, I think you folks can’t help but dig this one.”

Here is what Giant Freaking Robot says (full article HERE):

“Short films tend not to be the most polished of story telling media but Vessel bucks this trend in a big way. Between the set, the creature design, animation, and digital effects this short could easily be mistaken for a big screen endeavor. While complete in its own right, the 13 minute film leaves just enough questions unanswered for ambitious studio execs to buy and turn into feature length movie or tv series.  I think it’s safe to say that we don’t see enough maggot vomiting space aliens in sci-fi these days, and we need something to fill that void.”

“Vessel” has been reviewed by Film Threat and receives 4 out of 5 stars! Check out the full article HERE. Here is a excerpt:

“Vessel is a polished, beautiful endeavor. It may be a short film, but I could easily see it running on television as an episode of some sci-fi program or even as the opening sequence of a feature film. The filmmakers made some great creative choices with their color palette, and the effects work is a mix of CGI and practical, married (almost) flawlessly. Sure, you can tell the difference between the two when they are most starkly represented together but it doesn’t take away from the experience at all, and it’s still better than much of the sci-fi visual work you see in television.”

“I won’t ruin the surprise about what’s really at stake for everyone but with every lens flare that trails across the screen you are guaranteed to see something truly inspired with how well Clark executes on compressing a full length feature into a bite sized snack that not only showcases the man’s talents but how well he uses every second he’s given. There is no style guide when it comes to building blockbusters but through good fundamentals and an eye for what works, the results here simply impress.”

Geek Tyrant calls “Vessel” a “film that flies above the rest.” Check out the article HERE.

“This level of quality is what every short-filmmaker should aspire to. It’s got great production design, awesome alien creatures with Predator-esque practical effects, good characters, and a strong story, all told in 13 minutes.”

“Vessel” is named Film School Rejects Short of the Day! Check out the full article HERE.

“Everything about the short is pro-level. The score and strong performances from leads Brandon Bales and Julie Mintz are among the highlights, but it’s all here. Right on down to the sound design. Baker isn’t afraid to put his creatures front and center, and the design definitely pays off as the giant gooey roach/pig mutants are a thing of terrible beauty.”

“ If you like your monster movies, and a dash of Sci-Fi, (and who doesn’t?), then you could do a whole lot worse. The whole thing lasts under ten minutes, and is sure to entertain while it rolls. This work should see director, Baker, gain some much deserved recognition.”
