"Keep Your Distance" is a study in trust and boundaries. David Dailey ("Ally McBeal"'s Gil Bellows) is a seasoned Louisville talk radio host with a seemingly perfect marriage whose life collides with Melody (Jennifer Westfeldt), a young woman running out on her marriage proposal. As David and Melody bond over the puzzling letters he is receiving, Sean ("Angel"'s Christian Kane)Melody's would-be fiancée, pursues her with increasing fervor. Pollard leads us through the drama of these character's lives with a wry humor off-setting the suspenseful moments. Pollard tells his story simply yet in an engaging fashion.
The production value on the film is very high; it looks like it was made for more than 1.5 million. The ensemble acting was also quite cohesive. Personally, Christian Kane is extremely believable as an overly obsessed rocker/rich boy. He performs his own singing (pulling it off with sexy panache) in a truly creepy "love" song. Admirable sophomore effort from Pollard, who comes off as a down to earth and amicable human being (he attended the screening in Dallas.) Indeed, I hope you do get to make twenty films, Mr. Pollard!
