Hey everyone! This is Danny Giacomini, the actor that played Sasha! So great to hear that everyone has been enjoying the film! It was an honor to work alongside a legend like Eric Roberts!
It's hard at first to say I enjoyed it. It's certainly engrossing. There were moments when I was absorbed so that I forgot I was watching a film. It was a story being told, happening. That is when I know... that's the best. As for working with Mr. Roberts, I can only imagine. I like to think that such artists are always also honored to work with those who respect or even idolize them.
Thank you for the wonderful film!!! It's so amazing to be able to communicate even just briefly. Gotta love technology. Thanks again for the brilliant film!
Hiring professional actors helps short films immeasurably . Brought out the nuance . You didn’t over stay your welcome or get into artistic douchbagery. You served the story well and may you continue doing so hopefully in feature films. Thank you .
Had my attention right from the start. Both Roberts AND Giacomini delivered. The plot development was on point. The escalating sense of forboding that led to the climax was intense. Kudos to the writer, director and production team. Great short.
"Shouldn't have squirmed"--brilliant! This film sucked me in right from the start. Both actors were perfect in their roles. Seeing Eric Roberts is always a treat. Thanks for sharing this!
@@MathiasBacher The tattoo artist was getting very nervous about what the client was saying so he stepped away for a moment leaving his gun behind where Viktor's father could find it.
@@FodorPupil Definitely, something primal about teeth anyway. But seeing an older person with "brand new" body parts suggests something predatory about the person.
This is an amazing short form film that we were honored to include in our exclusive program. Congratulations on creating a thrilling piece of art with the time and care this subject matter requires. Bravo!
Knowing from "victor" what was going to happen .. but acted out by two.such wonderful actors, it was a slow burn to the inevitable without melodramatics and theatrics, and still shocking at the end.
Incredible. In the short section of time, you were able to build an entire world and tell both an interesting and compelling story. This film kept me glued to my screen. Very well done.
Yoooooo, that was really good! Nice to see Eric Roberts on screen so recently. He did phenomenal! And the Sasha actor was great as well. Gripping story, it kept me totally engaged. Love it!
Slick production. Nice lighting, editing and lovely solid acting from both cast members. I’ve seen Eric in some ropey trash, but I’ve never seen him give a bad performance, and this was no exception. Props to Dan for holding his own with a stalwart.
While Eric was amazing, can we please give some mad props to Daniel G for his performance. That moment when he was washing his hands in the bathroom, the devastated look on his face was brilliantly acted. And how interesting, in "revenge plots" like these you usually root for the guy seeking vengeance, but here youre hoping that Sasha will get out of this situation... such a well done piece. Bravo to everyone involved.
WOW....both Eric Roberts and Danny Giacomini are excellent in this film. Haven't seen Eric in such a good role since Chris Cornell video clip Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart
Matthew Berg, the writer/director of this compelling film is an up and coming young force in the indie film world....great work here and I'm sure more amazing things will be coming out from you soon!
No surprise how great this was. Would be a great start to a long version film telling the back story . Looking forward to lots of more great things from you.
i love how when watching the second time you notice a bunch of foreshadowing to the ending (spoilers ahead if you havent watched the full thing yet) just a couple i noticed are: the tattoo representing sasha. executioner, the eyes, etc. "great concept, an eye for an eye" "we can finish with the eyes when were back"
@@FuzzyElf kudos for doing the spoiler the way you did! I was just earlier today, telling someone off for _not_ doing it and posted how easily you can show a spoiler buy pushing it a few lines down! Good on ya! Nice to see there's still a few ppl with brains on this bot, idiot and toxic ppl-filled platform!
The guy should've brought the gun with him to the bathroom since his client was asking too many questions about Victor and his own daughter. Just saying always be prepared.
very good. this could easily be like a john wick type of full length film, or the movie "the drop" with tom hardy. action movies need to keep popping well after the john wick franchise
The first movie I ever saw Eric Roberts in, as well as Jon Voight, was Runaway Train, when I was 10 years old. Love that movie, even if it isn’t a classic by others.
Ominous, captivating, and disturbing as so many have shared already. They left me wanting to know more about Russian gangs. It left me wondering how the average Russian person might experience this movie. But mostly, I was looking for some kind of redemption. I was left, feeling sad for the human race. As Mohandas Gandhi shared so long ago, “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” Now the tattoo, artist’s daughter will have to grow up and murder his father’s killer in a senior center. How do we imagine a world in which forgiveness is possible?
Фантастика) Эрик Робертс почти говорящий на русском 🤯 Взрыв мозга. Спасибо за короткую встречу с ним❤️❤️❤️он великолепен в любом возрасте. Посмотрю теперь что-нибудь из его прошлого)🙃🙃🙃Сюжет бомба👍👍👍👍👍
Wonderful mood created via lighting and intensity of the performances, a strong addition to the tales tatoos have inspired, the unexpected root of emotional pain and marking.
I've heard of tattoos in Russian prisons and having certain tattoos meant something you did. And if didn't do it but had the tattoo...bad idea. Marked is an excellent film. Eric Roberts has been one of my favorite actors and now I have another favorite, Daniel Giacomini. Well written and well acted film.
I may not sleep tonight. YIKES! I anticipated what was going to happen, but I did not expect blinding by tattoo gun. Taught, well done short. Quibble: It would have been nice to get Roberts a bit more coaching in Russian so the American accent wouldn't be so heavy.
In my opinion, this is a excellent short video. Presently, it's difficult to comment on it. It left me a bit shaken. This film kind of demands some reflection before yielding a thoughtful critique. As the Terminator says. "I'll be back."
Fingerprints on the drawing will lead directly to Alexei. He should have worn a glove or not left the picture at all. Great Short film. Very intense and So Well Acted by both.
Hey everyone! This is Danny Giacomini, the actor that played Sasha! So great to hear that everyone has been enjoying the film! It was an honor to work alongside a legend like Eric Roberts!
amazing job! this might be my favorite short film on this channel

Good Work 👍
🥰
You were great! I hope I see you in many more films.
Hey everyone! I'm Matthew, the writer and director of Marked. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the wonderful film!!! It's so amazing to be able to communicate even just briefly. Gotta love technology. Thanks again for the brilliant film!
Thank YOU for writing & directing the film.
It seems (to me) to have turned out well.
I look forward to more your works.
Stay shiny.

Smashed it
Спасибо за офигенскую работу. Масса эмоций❤️❤️❤️ Thanks,u r awesome ...just like your film😘and Eric)
Had my attention right from the start. Both Roberts AND Giacomini delivered. The plot development was on point. The escalating sense of forboding that led to the climax was intense. Kudos to the writer, director and production team. Great short.
eric roberts never disappoints. one of the greats. cool story, great cast. thank you.
As soon as I saw Eric Roberts I knew it would end badly for the tattoo artist...
lol
"Shouldn't have squirmed"--brilliant! This film sucked me in right from the start. Both actors were perfect in their roles. Seeing Eric Roberts is always a treat. Thanks for sharing this!
Could you please explain the meaning of that sentence to me?
@@MathiasBacher The tattoo artist was getting very nervous about what the client was saying so he stepped away for a moment leaving his gun behind where Viktor's father could find it.
He saw it in the drawer when he got the cigarette for him .
Eric Roberts is always playing parts that make him extremely creepy!!!!
Totally. Love it!
Art reflects reality
Its the teeth i think
@Joe definitely an age thing with the teeth. I notice it with Stallone now as well. Maybe dentures? Idk. Love them both tho!
@@FodorPupil Definitely, something primal about teeth anyway. But seeing an older person with "brand new" body parts suggests something predatory about the person.
Eric Roberts sooo good. Always. Omeleto is so sneaky putting him in the thumbnail. Instant click for me.
Very disturbing, made me feel very anxious
This is an amazing short form film that we were honored to include in our exclusive program. Congratulations on creating a thrilling piece of art with the time and care this subject matter requires. Bravo!
WoW. "Both Roberts AND Giacomini delivered". So true. Thanks to the whole team & Best Regards.
This was the best short I've ever seen. Eric is amazing in everything. Fantastic directing and acting!
Thank you for the high praise 🙏
So great! I’m a fan of Eric Roberts . He always brings it. I love the timing and ominous feel of the whole short.
Knowing from "victor" what was going to happen .. but acted out by two.such wonderful actors, it was a slow burn to the inevitable without melodramatics and theatrics, and still shocking at the end.

I’ve seen Eric in some ropey trash, but I’ve never seen him give a bad performance, and this was no exception.
Props to Dan for holding his own with a stalwart.
All true .
💙💚🖤 I saw Eric Roberts face and I couldn't click fast enough to see the video!
Exactly
While Eric was amazing, can we please give some mad props to Daniel G for his performance. That moment when he was washing his hands in the bathroom, the devastated look on his face was brilliantly acted.
And how interesting, in "revenge plots" like these you usually root for the guy seeking vengeance, but here youre hoping that Sasha will get out of this situation... such a well done piece. Bravo to everyone involved.
WOW....both Eric Roberts and Danny Giacomini are excellent in this film. Haven't seen Eric in such a good role since Chris Cornell video clip Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart
That was menacingly suspenseful and captivating to the core. Outstanding!
Wow. Impactful and scary. Didn’t see that coming. Great acting and great plot. Lots happened in just 12 minutes.
So intriguing had to watch it twice. Picked up more details the second time. Excellent!
Matthew Berg, the writer/director of this compelling film is an up and coming young force in the indie film world....great work here and I'm sure more amazing things will be coming out from you soon!
No surprise how great this was. Would be a great start to a long version film telling the back story . Looking forward to lots of more great things from you.
This is by far the greatest short film I've ever watched, should be a series
Fantastic! Brilliantly acted, written, and directed. Matthew Berg is definitely someone to keep an eye on for future projects.
One of the best short films I’ve ever seen! Can’t wait to see what Matthew Berg does next
Eric Robert’s: still beautiful, still insanely talented, still deserving of the best
i love how when watching the second time you notice a bunch of foreshadowing to the ending (spoilers ahead if you havent watched the full thing yet)
just a couple i noticed are:
the tattoo representing sasha. executioner, the eyes, etc.
"great concept, an eye for an eye"
"we can finish with the eyes when were back"
omg
Also: oh, my eyes!
@@FuzzyElf kudos for doing the spoiler the way you did! I was just earlier today, telling someone off for _not_ doing it and posted how easily you can show a spoiler buy pushing it a few lines down! Good on ya! Nice to see there's still a few ppl with brains on this bot, idiot and toxic ppl-filled platform!
Also, his question about what he'd do if a loved one was murdered
Saw Eric Roberts on the thumbnail and I ha to see it. Wasn't disappointed
amazing suspenseful story! Wish it was a full movie. Great job Matthew so proud of you!
OK, that was one of the best from Omeleto. Eric Roberts never disappoints and kudos to the actor who played Sasha. That had me at the start.
You could feel the tension in the air and feel Dan's sorrow for what's to come! Awesome Job!
The guy should've brought the gun with him to the bathroom since his client was asking too many questions about Victor and his own daughter. Just saying always be prepared.
Wow! Eric Roberts! Long time No see
very good. this could easily be like a john wick type of full length film, or the movie "the drop" with tom hardy. action movies need to keep popping well after the john wick franchise
This had what many Omeletto videos don't.
A beginning, a plot and an ending. Bravo!
5 STARS: e Production. Incredible Directing. BRAVO!
Such a good short, filled with top-notch acting, cinematography, and story! I would totally watch a feature length film based on Alexei!
This is how our evil past keeps haunting us for the entire lifetime
WOW. This kicked my ass. Superb acting, writing, direction/lighting, oh hell yes.
One of the most intense Omeletos I've seen. Also one of the more violent lol.
I would like to think Eric donated his talent to this short. I always liked him.
Great life lesson. Keep your past where it belongs. You never know. Hard core end by one of my favorite actors.
Amazing short by some amazingly talented peeps. Director Matthew Berg and DP Powell Robinson are the real deal… remember the names. 👏
Thank you 🙏
In just 13:13 minutes I am satisfied and impressed by this. If I was on Netflix I would still be scrolling after 13:13 minutes...
Great short. Kudos to the team and all the work they put in to this project.
The first movie I ever saw Eric Roberts in, as well as Jon Voight, was Runaway Train, when I was 10 years old. Love that movie, even if it isn’t a classic by others.
This was great! Pacing, performances, dialogue, cinematography all hit
very powerful performance by both actors! and hats off to the writer, producer and director...WELL DONE!
This needs a full movie 💯
Ominous, captivating, and disturbing as so many have shared already. They left me wanting to know more about Russian gangs. It left me wondering how the average Russian person might experience this movie. But mostly, I was looking for some kind of redemption. I was left, feeling sad for the human race.

this was cool tho, forgiveness aint cool just wholesome
Congratulations, Matthew! I enjoyed the story and the cinematography of your film
Amazing job Matthew! Can’t wait to see what else you create!

Danny and Eric did amazing.
Wonderful mood created via lighting and intensity of the performances, a strong addition to the tales tatoos have inspired, the unexpected root of emotional pain and marking.
Such a great short film, love Eric and love the story! Did not expect the twist at the end at all
Should have known if Eric Roberts was in it😱 xcelllent
Congratz Matthew, crew & cast!!🍾🥂🍻
I'm a big fan of Eric Roberts...So glad to see him in one of your awesome short films!
Knew i couldnt handle it but couldn't stop watching.
This was really compelling. Great cinematography too

Eric Roberts has been one of my favorite actors and now I have another favorite, Daniel Giacomini. Well written and well acted film.
Great short films are hard to find. This is definitely one of them.

Air tight dialogue, flawlessly cast, gorgeous visuals, intense plot, fabulous cinema. Bravo!
excellent short film with well-developed plot . eric roberts and daniel giacomini are very good. overall, very well done
Eric Roberts plays a great creepy villain
Exit holes are typically larger than that. He was a fool to not realize he was being targeted and respond appropriately.
A bit predictable but eminently watchable. Well acted by both actors, nicely written, good tension. Solid short- good work.
Don't leave an admitted murderer in a room with your hand cannon! If he does get it try to grab it or deflect it.
I LOVE THIS SHORT!
Eric Roberts is a great actor. Shocked that he hasnt been seen more in television and movies
Shocked? Haha.
Matthew- brilliant work! Casting, suspense, plot twists, acting, writing -wow
Eric Roberts used to be a powerhouse, but decided to make crap movies for decades. Good to see him back in form. Great movie. Live by the sword....
Wait a damn minute is that Julia Roberts brother
yes
Dark. Powerful. Ending twist. Loved it. And great performance by Eric Roberts, as always.
I'd like to see this as a film with all the action leading up to this final scene. ❤
One of the best from Omeleto!
Eric Roberts always delivers a great performance. That's why he's one of my favorite actors.
WOW! That was really good! I was riveted to it.
The edits are flawless and the cinematography is just amazing wow
In my opinion, this is a excellent short video. Presently, it's difficult to comment on it. It left me a bit shaken. This film kind of demands some reflection before yielding a thoughtful critique. As the Terminator says. "I'll be back."
OMG a brilliant piece of work. Eric Roberts.....What can one say? Amazing as always
This is the best short film I’ve ever seen. It was so intense 🔥🔥🔥
This was amazing, one of the best!👍
I love that Eric Roberts is working with up-and-coming filmmakers. What an incredible guy.
Fingerprints on the drawing will lead directly to Alexei. He should have worn a glove or not left the picture at all. Great Short film. Very intense and So Well Acted by both.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Thank you for video. Love seeing Eric.
Eric is auch an amazing actor... could have been a huge star.
Excellent directing
Great! I was hooked from the very beginning!
Great job Matthew, congratulations!!
this film was well shot! The actors had me in it the entire time! great job!
You’ve all done very well.
"Pop it in! Pop it in, pop it in! TOMMY, pot it in! 😫 Love me some Eric Roberts.
And the added twist could have been as we walks away down the street, he stumples, and falls, and realized the ink was poisen.
Once they exchanged 'pleasantries' I wondered which one would be alive for the next meeting.
Wow this was… amazing
