The Mentor

A nice little Indie flick that was greatly entertaining from start to finish. The acting was strong, especially the two female leads, and there were more twists and turns than a mountain road, It never got stale, drawn out or boring. Action packed and a strong outing from the writer and director of the film. Great fun that is highly recommended,

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.

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

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.

Movies set within the film business are a tough nut to crack. It's really hard to do one that doesn't come off as completely self-indulgent and pretentious I saw two of these this week from the same distribution company... This is definitely the better of the two. Well shot, good acting. The funny bits were actually funny, some good suspense moments. Be curious to see what else the director has done. Big recommend.
