    Saw at SAFILM!

    Saw this film at the San Antonio Film Festival and was surprised at this tense gem of a thriller. Set in the NYC comedy I thought it would be a "coming of age" story about the lead character Brett but it quickly devolved into a nightmarish take of ambition.

    The director led a great Q&A session afterwards and really let us inside the process of the main character's psyche. Check it out wherever it's streaming!

    Grabs your attention!

    Whoa! Like a film that grabs you by the shirt and doesn't let go til the credits! Had me early in, htrreat performances, cringe moments, and awkward comedy!

    *taken & expanded from my Letterbox review*

    Reminds me of Taxi Driver

    A NYC movie set on the streets, in the summer, a man on the verge of sanity...if you like films like Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, Joker, etc this is a movie proudly in that film lineage!

    indie gem of cringe!

    Caught this film at this the Austin Revolution Film Fest and it was amazing to see it with an audience..and by "amazing" I mean cringe (In the best way). Brett is a really fascinating character and the events that lead to the final third are really interesting to behold! My whole row was tense halfway through b/c we had no idea hat was going to happen next! Check out this indie gem!

    yes, and!

    Interesting film about improv, comedy, and mental illness. Great characters, cool locations, and good performances. Check it out if you like a slow-burn thriller.

    Loved the Alt-Right Shark, haha.
