Featured reviews
This film opens our eyes to the lonley men out there. This film was on a short budget but everything felt like a hight quality flick. Awsome camera work with excellent videography. The story line was too good. Keep up the good work m8s. Love from Middlesbrough UK.
Such a great indie film that really captures the extreme isolation that can happen in a single man's life who has the bad luck to miss early relationships in school and college and then finds it even harder to connect in the "real world". I loved the subtle shifts between the fantasies and reality of the main character. The acting, camerawork, lighting and editing were really solid for an indie film. The soundtrack was really cool and had a great indie vibe as well. The directors did a great job creating a visual palette that kept the film fresh and interesting. Highly recommended for those who love indies over commercial industry films.
When I saw the title Streamer, I assumed it was a horror movie. Let's face it - there's probably another film out there with the same name, because social media is a major set up to exploring these particular themes. But to my surprise, this small indie is not horror in the traditional sense. Streamer is, at its core, a quiet drama. It takes an intimate, surreal approach to the story of a lonely young man struggling to connect with the real world.
This is a story about yearning - the simple desire to love. For the male lead, the internet becomes his escape, as face to face communication feels overwhelming. His fixation begins when he talks with a beautiful woman online under anonymity. By coincidence, lives in the same apartment building. What follows is a slow, deliberate exploration of his day-to-day mundane life, revealing the dread, of unrequited longing through careful shot composition and pacing.
The two leads deliver their performances with precision. Jared Bratt, in particular, carries the weight of the film with subtlety and realism - his eyes and body language speaks volumes.
Visually, the film is striking. Its use of color - shifting from black and white frames to saturated pink hues - creates a dreamlike quality. The story blurs the line between reality and imagination, leaving the audience uncertain about what is truly happening and what exists only in the character's mind. But rather than seeking clear answers or adhering to a conventional three - act structure, the film invites us to inhabit this man's fractured perspective.
Despite its limited budget, Streamer never feels cheap or undeveloped. It reminded me of what I love about small - budget filmmaking, much like Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi. While that is an action film, the comparison stands: with a strong focus on story and craft, a small film can make a lasting impact.

Am 28 too and am a attractive man but am virgin, Women never look or ever try engaging with me too. I love this movie. I mean i wish men like us get love.
This movie is just too bloody good. Every man has suffered this. Women always go with the popular guy while ignoring many good fellas like us. Watched it in the Australian Film festival and it was well loved.
