I was blown away by this film. What a wonderful, lyrical and whimsical piece-- and it was made with no budget to speak of. The team who put this together are magicians-- conjuring gold out of thin air.
Where to start? The structure was delightful-- handled brilliantly and provided a complexity and depth which added to the pacing and overall production. The story unfolded slowly at first, but just kept picking up momentum and by the end was soaring.
Wonderful selection of lead actor-- a truly thoughtful choice which added a subtle complexity. He was so understated which I really enjoyed. Other performers I loved were Creature and his side kick-- perfect energy. I laughed out loud. Fabulous cast of colorful characters. David Andrews was clearly having too much fun-- and so did I. The female lead wasn't as strong, but stunning. Not a hardship watching her on the screen.
The locations were gorgeous. The beauty of the mountains and the Haw Valley in North Carolina were inspiring. Memorable locations created some inspiring footage. The rain was insanely perfect. Haunting would describe it.
The score was spot on. It's such an integral part of the film. The production value is astounding as I think the film was made on a dime. How'd they make it look so amazing for no money?
Great indie flick. I loved it. Really.
