Late Watch

It's not often that I see an independent film (and I have seen a lot) look so clean and at the same time play so funny. There always seems to be something off. Henry S. Miller's LATE WATCH proves there is hope for the independent thinking filmmaker. The camera moves with ease as we follow Travis (Stephen Daniels), the new late watchman at the warehouse, through an introduction to his collective of strange and perverse colleagues. We are navigated in detail through the warehouse observing the hilarious rituals of the staff over a twelve-hour period. While some films would gloss over character and focus on stereotypical story lines, LATE WATCH takes it time, engulfing us with "filmic" visuals (no stock footage here), which enables the audience to feel as if we are on shift as well. There are plenty of laughs, jumps and sensual overtones combined with a classic and gritty New York realism. It looks great. It sounds perfect(not the norm for independents). Look for this one soon.
