Once a Dragon, Always Fire
Once a feared kingpin known as Nine-Tat Dragon, Ryan Wade did time and came out a changed man, running a humble BBQ stand and dodging his old crew. But when his daughter gets pushed around, the past claws back. Turns out, you can retire the dragon... just not his fire.

The Night of Reckoning
The tension in Once a Dragon, Always Fire is absolutely suffocating! The standoff between the group and the man in the red tunic feels like a powder keg waiting to explode. I love how the camera lingers on the girl in the grey hoodie; her silent fear speaks volumes compared to the shouting. The night setting adds such a gritty, dangerous vibe to the confrontation. Watching this on netshort had me on the edge of my seat wondering if violence would break out next.
