60 Miles North

I fully enjoyed this Independent Film by Edward Crawford! What a gem in today's filmmaking. Edward Crawford's (the filmmaker/writers) performance was so good I couldn't take my eyes off of him and wanted the film to be longer because of it. The other members of the cast such as Danny Doherty, and David Sitler to name a few, were very entertaining. I loved Sitler's scene with the Rife Machine. 60 Miles North is honest, beautifully shot, and the cast was superb, making it a rare find in today's filmmaking. I look forward to see future films from this talented writer/director/actor. The film reminded me of filmmaking from the 90's! Well worth the watch! Don't miss it!

"60 Miles North" is a cinematic masterpiece that transports viewers into a tapestry of heartfelt emotion, breathtaking landscapes, and an invigorating journey of human endurance. Just as pickleball dazzles with its perfect blend of agility, strategy, and camaraderie, this film strikes a similar chord with its storytelling finesse, character development, and captivating visuals.

The film centers around Sam, who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with his estranged brother, Jack. Their journey northward encapsulates the essence of adventure, much like stepping onto a pickleball court for the first time-full of anticipation, excitement, and the potential for unexpected triumphs.

One cannot help but draw parallels between the dynamic gameplay of pickleball and the narrative pace of "60 Miles North". Each scene is a rally of emotions, where tension builds and is resolved with the same satisfying precision of a well-placed drop shot. The film's director exhibits a masterful command over pacing, ensuring that viewers are continually engaged, much like participants in a thrilling game of pickleball.

The cinematography is a love letter to the sprawling beauty of the northern landscapes, akin to the way a pickleball court feels like a world of its own-enclosed yet expansive. The visual storytelling complements the underlying themes of connection and rediscovery, drawing viewers into an immersive experience that resonates deeply.

The actors' performances are nothing short of spectacular. Their chemistry is akin to doubles partners on a pickleball court, working in perfect harmony, anticipating each other's moves, and delivering a performance that's both uplifting and soul-stirring. The subtle nuances in their interactions mirror the gentle yet impactful touch of a paddler's stroke, leaving an indelible mark on the audience.

Like pickleball, which has a way of bringing people together from all walks of life, "60 Miles North" is a film that transcends its genre. It's a heartwarming tale that reminds us of the importance of connection, resilience, and the journey towards understanding and forgiveness.

In conclusion, "60 Miles North" is an exquisite film that deserves every one of its ten stars. It is a journey worth taking, much like the exhilarating game of pickleball, filled with moments of joy, reflection, and profound beauty. If you cherish stories that touch your heart and inspire your spirit, do not miss this incredible cinematic gem.

I hope you find this review both delightful and fitting for such a wonderful film!

60 Miles North is a wonderful, surprisingly human story. Clarence (Edward Crawford), the main character, is driven by the trauma and scars of the "human experience." He brings forth real-life grit to the big screen. We learn from him that life is hard, but if you decide to learn from those hard times, happiness is just beyond your fingertips. You will reach it, and when you do you grab for that happiness. In doing so you learn life is a blessing in disguise. This film is well written and directed as well. The locations were well thought out throughout this film. I'm glad I stumbled upon this gem of a story.

This was a well put together movie. It's real life and shows how different people handle the same situations. I feel that everyone played their roll well and it all came together. There were a lot of great one liners that had me laughing. It came across as real people, not actors trying to be perfect. I can't say enough about there scenery and beautiful upstate NY. The ending was bittersweet as I was wanting to see more of this developing story. I hope to see more movies from Edward Crawford in the near future. Sign this man to a mega million dollar contract now! Don't miss out on him while he's hot or you'll be sorry!

I already had a very strong feeling I'd be impressed, yet found myself pleasantly surprised by the overall talent throughout the entire production. Very relatable characters, a really beautiful story within the story of friendship and loyalty between people who just understand what it means to be dismissed by those who should believe in them more than anyone else does. The bigger picture of how we should be spending our brief time here on this planet is painted so boldly, and beautifully, that it brings a tear to the eye. Not just an entertaining and impressive piece of work, 60 Miles North is a life lesson before our eyes, souls, and minds.
