Hesperia

This film shows the consequences of being a sleazy drug dealer. Things catch up to you for taking money to make someone's brain turn to mush. A drug dealer wanting a new life is not simple. I didn't expect the ending twist, but I did like how it shows today's youth and the obsession with phones, youtube, etc. Good watch!

I really enjoyed how this movie portrayed the juxtaposition of aggression with vulnerability. There's a nice color pallet that's used in the film to really draw the viewer into the mood and characters emotional state. It's a bold script, filled with grit, and is a wonderful example of fine indie filmmaking.

There's not much here that plays out how you'd expect. This film could have easily fallen into predictable beats, but managed to circumvent expectations at virtually every turn in a way that is brutal without being graphic, and manages to comment on both of the circular nature's of its 2 subplots/themes.

Not what you expect, and definitely worth the watch!

I'm a total sucker for home invasion thrillers, so I was already half in the bag. But the production has a slick enough look and the acting and story are all solid enough to compare with some larger budgeted fare. Enjoyed it quite a bunch.

Two kids in Hesperia get exposed to the dark side of their community. This raw, indie film depicts the gripping and disturbing results of a vicious cycle. To learn more, watch it. Warning... it's not for everybody.
