im sorry i dont want to be mean but i watched a little bit of this movie and i had to turn it off because the acting was so bad and the overall quality of the movie. it didnt seem very professionally made. i felt like i was watching a reality tv show trying to act.
Amen, sister. This is a complete POS. Really gives legitimate filmmakers hope that true talent will be recognized at fests where this junk made an impression.
Where did I say the quality of the performance can't make or break a small independent films?
I can't see why an independent director would want focus on the quality of the actors, as it's normally the weakest aspect of an independent movie with an unknown cast. Clerks, the Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, etc...they succeeded despite some really weak performances.
Script, storytelling, direction...that's a level playing field. Bob from the community theater vs Richard Harris? Good luck.
Because if the actors are no good there is no film. Independent directors want to get some notice. They may not want to become big time Hollywood directors but they want some positive attention.
You can have a small independent movies with really good performances that make it a sleeper.
