Ry O’TOOLE’s debut feature is a pop movie that combines the emotional grandeur of wide-screen epics; the expressive, playful visual adventures of silent cinema; and the hearty inventiveness and care of a DIY production. It eschews the restrained naturalism and realism dominant in most contemporary independent film, instead fully embracing the possibilities of digital filmmaking, the expressionistic potential of CGI, and the heightened emotionality of theatrical performance, operating in an unabashedly earnest, unapologetically sincere register. -FOFS
