At the W Hotel in Woolloomooloo, Sydney, Polson, the highly esteemed creator of the phenomenally successful Tropfest short film festival, takes his cup of decaf from the waiter, a person soon to figure prominently in the filmmaker's story.

Though careful not to generalise, Polson doesn't even wait for the end of the question about the nature of the industry's woes before jumping in with an adamant response.

 SPLICEDwire | "Swimfan" review (2002) John Polson, Jesse Bradford, Erika Christensen
First-time director John Polson has an eye for richly shadowy visuals, but the man went overboard with revolving cameras and gratuitous repetition of multiple takes in several tense scenes.
But in Polson's inexperienced, B-movie hands the editing of these multiple takes is so haphazard that it proves a major distraction in what should be some of "Swimfan's" most jarring moments.
Of course, stuck with a hero that has no wits, "Swimfan" has to go to implausible extremes to find a climax, and in its final scenes even Christensen can't deliver a convincing performance when called on to take her character to the lunatic fringe.

 GrodsCorp » Rejected by John Polson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A little demoralising but there is still no doubt that the film was miles better than some of the turd that’s gotten through to the finals in previous years.
GrodsCorp will now begin an aggressive campaign of film festival entry and The Editor is quite confident that somebody, somewhere, is yet to have a chuckle at John, Simon and Ben.
This short film deserves to be shown on the big screen, (not talking about DrJimbo’s new purchase either).

Hide and Seek movie review, John Polson, Robert De Niro, Dakota Fanning, Famke Janssen, Dylan Baker, Robert John Burke, Amy Irving, Elisabeth Shue, Melissa Leo.
Starring Robert De Niro, Dakota Fanning, Famke Janssen, Dylan Baker, Amy Irving, Elisabeth Shue, Melissa Leo, Robert John Burke
A minimal effort from a once-great actor can still prop up a bad picture, but when De Niro is upstaged by 10-year-old, that speaks volumes about his level of interest.
