Review: 

 Seth Barrish's style of directing his actors to be real and natural shines through in Phoenix by Scott Organ, a simply-plotted ninety-minute duo performed by the very attractive, very believable DeAnna Lenhart and Dusty Brown who are both able to convey subtle emotional changes and let deep feelings peek out. The interaction, some really cute banter, grows out of a past one-night-stand, and as the problem presented develops towards a solution, there are intellectual philosophical speculations and games as the two get to know each other and we get to know them. The tension sustains as we root for these two likable, appealing, vulnerable people in today's world.
