Great Film

I am currently a Media Arts student at the University of Arizona and we, as part of the Arizona International Film Festival, were lucky enough to have the soul of the creative team of this film down for a workshop today. Since three of the four, Georgina Riedel (director), Sean Olson (editor) and Lisa Fowle (sound editor), attended the U of A it was an even more exciting experience (Tobias Datum the DP was also present!). Not only are these some of the nicest people I've ever met they also have quite a film on their hands! It is fabulously shot, with some of the most creative, beautiful and just plain different shots I've seen in a film. The storyline is an interesting one that almost forces you to care about each of the characters. And the actors have given some fabulous performances! The script is realistic without being cheesy or forced. It took a serious subject and made a serious commentary on it while still being laugh-out-loud funny consistently! Overall, this film was simply amazing! I was honored to be able to watch it in the presence of the makers and to be able to meet them and talk to them. They really deserve the success they have attained and that they still have coming to them! Best of luck to this film!
