The Mentor (2020)
Quirky Indie film
Here's a fun little indie film that goes in a bunch of unexpected directions. Loved the location shots in Oakland and the lead girl is very likable. It's original and worth checking out. Especially if you're an aspiring filmmaker.
The Last Days of Capitalism (2020)
Surprisingly strong for a 2-hander
Solid writing and excellent acting make this single-set feature easily watchable. It manages to get beyond the "stage feel" too with dream-like camerawork that perfectly captures the hazy morals of Vegas. Definitely worth a look.
Save Yourself (2018)
Allen Gardner succeeds again
Save Yourself is another intelligent, well-acted charmer from writer/director/star Allen C. Gardner. Sit back, relax and enjoy the insights. Especially since it's on Amazon Prime - no excuse not to check it out.
Bitter Melon (2018)
Engaging and original
Bitter Melon is a fresh take on indie filmmaking that is consistently engaging and original throughout. The cast is diverse, the music score is haunting (especially the end credits song by the director himself) and the plot takes some nice twists and turns. It's a strong film from an original voice.
