8 Winds is an intriguing indie. It's a film noir on a filmmaker, Charlie Nabis, that gets sucked into a romance and a trap by Russian oligarchs and a missing billionaire. Dan's writing is a clever take on double take dialogues, puns and witty jokes.
The film offers a good insight into the writers cleverness and the characters. Good writing. Charlie falls in love with the lady, America, payed by the wonderful Leona Paraminski. Charlie Nabis, Dan Coplan, is not only a filmmaker, but a stand up comic as well. That's one of the best parts and that's where he meets and falls in love with America.
I do like some of the montages of Charlie walking around in the protests, the film festivals, and shots of the Marina Del Rey.
There were a couple of parts that were stretched out too thin such as Dan cooking or the doctor visits. I would have liked to seen more of back and forth romantic tension between Charlie and America rather than a musical montage and America suddenly kissing him.
I liked how Charlie had to donate his bone, in order to 'Save America'.
I felt there story was more about the romance rather than the intrigue and danger of being pulled Into Russian Mafia.
It's a good solid indie worth watching.
