Penelope review: a girl goes hiking and stays gone

Penelope is different. It's the kind of different that makes you grateful that independent films are still being made. Penelope was directed by Mel Eslyn who created and wrote it with Mark Duplass.

Ghostlight review, portrait of a family in distress

<p>Ghostlight is one of those small indie films that are a delight to find. It probably won&#8217;t make a big splash, but it is beautifully done and touching. It&#8217;s a story of a family in crisis and how a work of art helped heal their pain.</p>

Stuck review: daffy comedy with Heather Matarazzo

Stuck is an indie that got stuck in limbo for a while after it released in 2018 because the former distributor of the film stole the money for the film. That person is now in jail and the film is finally seeing the light of day with distribution on Prime Video for a $2.99 rental.

I saw star Heather Matarazzo talking about Stuck on Instagram and she won me over into taking a look. I'll support a woman powered indie film after a struggle like that to get seen.

This comedy is about a nurse [...]

Recommended Oscar-nominated #Palestinian short #film The Present. It is set in the #WestBank

Seemingly no longer on Netflix, but I saw it available for streaming on Apple TV, Amazon Prime US and Google Play

What a great movie, I liked every frame of it: the story, the acting, the #photography, the continuous discovery of languages, music and feelings 😃 Watch Shine Your Eyes (2020) on #MUBI

Starting on December 15th, 2022, the Japan Foundation (JF) holds JFF+ INDEPENDENT CINEMA, a special program that will stream 12 films that have been selected by independent theaters, so-called “mini-theaters,” from different regions of Japan — all free of charge.

I do think the backlash against #ZachBraff's #Kickstarter for I Wish I Was Here was extremely damaging for "mid level" #moviemaking.

I think a lot of established people saw how Braff was treated and decided not to crowdfund their passion projects. So instead they stay inside the corporate hegemony where everything is measured against the numbers on opening weekend.
