The Mentor

Wow. This film will keep you entertained. It is a roller coast ride of a script that takes some chances and by enlarge succeeds. It is many things, but not predictable. And that is it's strength. At times dark, at times funny, at times confusing, but delivers when it counts most. Worth a watch. Give it a chance

While filmmakers will get more of the references, you don't have to be one to enjoy this Indie film. There are plenty of plot twists and quirky dark humor to keep you watching until the end.

Super fun and unexpected plot. I found the storyline a bit challenging to follow at first, but it quickly turned into a joyride as it all unfolded. What a great take on the journey and internal struggles of any artist. All the performances were solid, and had me hooked instantly. The shots of Oakland and the impressive soundtrack were a total bonus.

A fun meta-narrative that bobs and weaves its way to a satisfying conclusion, while effectively mixing different genres in an unexpected and fresh way. A fascinating watch.

An insightful exploration of the creative process and the pursuit of authenticity in filmmaking. Creative-types, filmmakers and cinephiles will gain the most from this film as they will get the film references and understand the lengths artists go to find their voice (while also having to deal with time and budget constraints.) The story unfolds cleverly with plenty of twists and fun moments, and builds up to a really satisfying ending.
