Ghost Planet is a really well made, independent science fiction movie with hints of action! Written and directed by Philip J. Cook and starring Joe Mayes, Claudia Amacher, and Mark Hyde, the story follows a small group of astronauts as they travel to an unknown planet and complications ensue. The special effects are especially noteworthy here. They give the film a high production value. The whole film is ambitious; it aims high and delivers! I love how the story unfolds, catching the viewer's attention from the very beginning and keeping me hooked as the layer after layer was revealed. It also had hints of Blade Runner! I also really enjoyed the music.

For When You Get Lost is an indie movie with a great story and so much heart! The writing, acting, directing, and cinematography are all incredible. I never knew exactly where the story was gonna go and that kept me invested. The subjects of overcoming your own faults and mistakes, while also dealing with family trauma and grief are all so relatable. I really love the complex dynamics among all the characters as well. I also appreciated that it's a female-led story with a diverse cast. And I loved the soundtrack! Bravo to the entire team behind this film! This one is definitely worth watching!

I really enjoyed how the beginning of Maybe Forever is a slow burn. The visuals and voiceovers that open the movie made me intrigued and I wanted to keep watching! Co-written, co-starring, and co-directed by George Capacete and Ruby Capacete, this film tells a love story in an unconventional way! It's like cinematic poetry. I enjoyed that the story was non-linear and showed the couple looking back on their first day and talking about it. I appreciated that it was a simple concept, told very beautifully. The actors had good chemistry and captured the emotions of the story genuinely. This is a lovely romantic film!
