TAKE2🎬Indie Review sits down with writer, director Martin Ponferrada to discuss his animated documentary – EVERYTHING IS UPSTREAM
HELLO, MY SWEET BOY
Written and Directed by Raphael Dirani, HELLO, MY SWEET BOY taps into the bittersweet journey of a son who has a parent suffereing with dementia. The film also taps into the son’s bisexuality and how hard it is for him to come out to his mother – after dating a man for seven years.
JUMPER
Written by Susannah Nolan and Directed by Jeremiah Kipp, JUMPER is a story told from multiple character perspectives. These perspectives are from people whose day unexpectedly collide.
EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING
When an artist is a true artist, he or she finds a way to continue to speak their truth. Even though the world may seem
Interview with director – Leland Montgomery
The arts were sort of present in my life for as long as I can remember. My mom and dad had been part of the Oakland Art scene for as long as I can remember. Some of their best friends were the original founders of Burning Man and I remember going to burner parties in warehouses when I was a little kid. My current passion as a filmmaker, however, began when I started doing plays in high school. I remember being interested not only in acting, but also in costume and scenic design. My interest only broadened in college.
LIKE ANIMALS
LIKE ANIMALS is a visually stunning film which opens with a haunting score in a neighborhood lackluster of life. The non-color palette and neutral tones define a monotone way of living that reflects the lives of the characters that call this home. The score creates a foreboding pulse to the film that carries the story in a haunting rhythm.
HOME CONSTRUCTORS
The film is about five Palestinian workers who try to find their place alongside their Jewish-Israeli constructor during Israeli’s Memorial Day. By distancing themselves from a foreigner fellow-worker – a refugee from Darfur – the workers are hoping to finally belong to this land that defines its owners by the rules of war.
WHITE FEATHER
Written and Directed by Daniel Arbon, WHITE FEATHER is based on the true story of Arbon’s great-grandfather.
BUMMER
It’s hard to imagine a powerful message in just 13 minutes, but that’s exactly what Barry Worthington (Writer, Director and Editor) set out to do – and accomplished – in BUMMER.
