Heartfelt flick

I don't watch too many indie films but this one doesn't disappoint. The script is solid and there's plenty of laughs and some emotional parts that really hit home for me. Great to see Paul Bates in this also along with a lot of other skilled upcoming actors. Support this film and watch it.

Award winning! Support them

Such a good storyline and the main character really blew me away with his performance. This is something you'd see that the film festivals circuit as i'm surprised it hasn't won as many awards as it should have. Congratulations on the successful release and we will all be looking forward to more films in the near future.

Coming of Age Movie

This is a great movie about a young man learning about love and loss. The music fits the mood of the story. Can't wait for the soundtrack to be released.

Quirky

We need more movies like this. I thought the film had some funny moments and some tearful moments too. I could totally relate to a lot of the scenarios the teen was in. Really enjoyed it.. easily a 9 from me.

A Meaningful Film

There's films you just watch for fun and then theres movies you watch that really makes you fuzzy inside. This is one of them. In fact there was many moments in this film I could actually relate to when i was a kid. Director and all the actors came through on this one. Well done and I highly recommend to everyone.
