The Ladder

I had a chance to see this film at the Phoenix Film Festival. All I can say is be on the lookout for this director. This would be an incredibly impressive feature film debut for anyone, and then you learn the writer/director is only 24.

With fantastic production quality all around, this sensitive slow burning sci-fi shot meshes perfectly with the picturesque landscape. The subtle acting pairs perfectly with the simple father/son story with the always relatable themes of nature versus technology, family, immortality.

I look forward to seeing this director continue to challenge his creativity and grow as an artist.
