We went to a film screening this morning, invited by an actress in one of my summer shorts, who also was in this. Not quite an hour long and like a lot of indie movies I've seen: strong theme, a series of situations but no real story; lots of good performances; too conscious of itself, in this instance reflected in over-editing and a maddening use of extreme closeups. Of course, the "in" crowd at the screening -- cast, crew and friends -- went wild about it. However, one neutral observer asked me, "How can a film seem long if it's not even an hour?"
All in all, you have to applaud any film that gets finished for no other reason than that they actually did it. No talking about it. Action. I'm glad I went.
