Waiting on Mary

Just to get it out of the way, I went to school with some of the filmmakers of Waiting On Mary.

I was lucky enough to get the chance to see it a while back, and for a micro- budget indie romantic comedy, it was a very endearing watch with the kind of story that you're unlikely to find with a bigger production. The production values, despite a low budget, shine through and you can tell the people involved were very passionate about making up for a lack of funds through ingenuity, resourcefulness, and talent. If I have one gripe, it's that the tone of the story can shift abruptly at points from quirky romantic comedy to lowbrow humor, but this again just helps provide a more wacky ride that you're unlikely to see from a big name studio.
