A Fantastical Ride
From the first image, you know you're in the hands of fantastic storytellers. The cinematography in this piece is truly masterful. The setting is very much a character. The desert is photographed beautifully. You can almost feel the heat radiate through the screen.
Chris Paul Russell is a writer/director to watch. This is my first time engaging with his work and he's really special. TLOAFSAT gender bends like there's no tomorrow. Russell never allows the film to get away from him. The tone of the piece is so sure, so certain.
The cast is phenomenal. Roy Williams, Jr. Is the right man to lead us through this journey. Williams does more with his eyes than most actors can do with several pages of dialogue. You feel everything he feels. Mark Bennighoffen's narration is absolutely perfect. Paul Major as "Dumb Nate" is another standout. There are no weak links in this cast.
If this is playing at a festival near you, watch it! It's totally worth every cent you'll pay.
