Strings

My boyfriend and I caught STRINGS at the Long Island Film Expo a couple weeks ago and have been talking about it ever since. There's something about this movie that sits with you for a while, kind of like Memento and the Salton Sea. Maybe it's the heavily-tattooed protagonist being soft-spoken and having women issues in all three of them :) It didn't feel like an independent movie at all, the pacing and production quality were Hollywood caliber and the story was something that, for the first time in years, my boyfriend said "I've never seen a movie like that"....I wish we could buy a DVD! We've told all our friends about it and getting to meet the talented filmmakers was such a great experience. The cast was incredible, the story was incredible, the directing was incredible, I can't say enough good things about this movie. If the STRINGS people are reading this, thank you for making my boyfriend cry!

I had the privilege of screening Strings as a volunteer at the Tulsa Film Festival earlier this year. I was absolutely blown away by every aspect of the film. The overall quality, writing, direction, acting and location selection were as good as any big budget Hollywood film. I was particularly impressed by the acting. Every cast member portrayed the emotion and depth of their character very well. The young actors were especially brilliant in their performances. Getting to hear the story of how Strings was made after the screening revealed what an amazing project the directors put together on an unbelievably small budget. I have become a big fan of Strings and hope to see it again very soon in wide release.

I saw this movie with my whole family and are ranges age from 13-74. Now usually it is very hard to get every age group to like a certain movie. Not the case here. We all loved the film and talked about it for days afterward. The only thing we regretted was seeing it at a film festival because we wanted to see it a 2nd time. So as soon as we find out where it is playing we will be there. I would recommend this picture to all my friends to go see and thought the film makers did a great job. They should be really proud of this film. I found myself guessing all the way through the entire film. We thought all the actors in the film did a great job and hope to see them in their other projects coming up.

I attended a screening in San Antonio at the suggestion of a friend. I was quite impressed with the quality of the picture and acting. I did not expect to see such quality in an indie film. The movie has several intense story lines. They all just draw you into and keep your interest. The actors are spot on! You just about hear what the others in the audience are thinking throughout. I also loved the little pieces of humor. The little girl in Strings is a total delight! It would be nice to see her in other things. I am glad my friend suggested this and can't wait to see how far the Directors go in their career. It was well worth every minute.

Strings is a great movie that has suspense, romance and action. The film has a very good cast that gives it a professionalism you don't find often in indie movies. Also, the score is just amazing. It really takes the film to another level.

Mark Dennis and Ben Foster did an unbelievable job considering that this is first feature film. I'm excited to see what comes next from the pair.

I'm pretty sure Stings is being show at a wide variety of film festivals around the country and I highly recommend you checking it out if you can. I saw it at the Breckenridge Festival, but I think they have a full list of the showings on their site.
