The Immigrant Garden

THE IMMIGRANT GARDEN is a gem of independent filmmaking, gentle and literate and a joy to watch. The script is based on a play by the same name, and it's a standout. Very well-written. Tenderly drawn characters, an unselfconscious sense of humor and surprisingly good performances by unknown actors make this a real find -- hope it will find a wider audience!

Hey this is a great film. I can't wait for the video to come out or for it to get onto the big screen for others to see. I really enjoyed the film because of the time frame that it chose to cover, the early 1900's. I really enjoyed that there was no cussing or sex within the film. I think that movies are good without that type of stuff within them. I encourage all to see this movie when it comes out because it is a great family film. We need to show that we support good clean movies like this film.

A gentle story from simpler times. A wonderful reminder of how life was before we all became "plugged in." This story is told in a way that also reminds us of the importance of staying in touch with our past. The story develops in a sensitive and powerful way. The writing poetic, the directing deliberate. I would enjoy seeing more films of this caliber. A simple story, sweetly told, one in which each person can in some way relate. No exploitation, violence, sex, greed, or death. For me, a true "breath of fresh air."

The story content, so well interpreted by cast and director, take one into an era of great change in our country and the world, without any aggression or negative associations. The costumes, settings and photography are truly spectacular. I felt could have stepped into the screen and settled in comfortably. The explanation in the story of the "immigrant" garden is delightly done. I'd recommend this film for everyone who is tired of seeing bombings, murders, criminal actions, and violations of earth itself. This film was like a breath of fresh air and left me smiling.

Using amateur actors with professional production and direction the outcome is excellent. Filmed in Washington State. A project written and acted by local talent. It is the direction the movie industry should be going so that more people can see a "good" movie more often. A must see for people who want to see a "good" movie.
