All-time greatest film!

This is the best film since "Citizen Kane", and we know how spiffy that one was! Don't we? Notice the direction, the acting, the lighting, the snacks. Afterall, isn't movies for our enjoyment, wherever we sit, whomever we go? OK, so the world isn't fair. But at least there's "Killing The Dream". And what would we be without it,

Laugh out loud funny!!!

I don't remember the last time I've seen a movie that made me laugh out loud as much as Killing the Dream!! Great characters, great dialogue, well acted and did I mention funny!! My favorite character was Amy - played by Amy Rohren! She's delightful!

Paging Dr. Bob

After seeing this movie at the Temecula Valley Film Festival, I don't think I can look at independent film-making the same way as I did before. This is a world class Mockumentary that can hold its own with some of the greats like Spinal Tap and Best in Show. I can only hope that no one like these characters ever get their hands on a project, or we might see the end of western civilization as we know it! Kudos to all involved, it rightfully deserved the best feature film award.
