> Then you’ll rewatch it a couple times and see just how much you missed, because the writing is brilliant.

...and the audio is pretty inconsistent :P

But seriously, seconded. One of my absolute favorite films of all time, and made on a budget in the thousands. Completely stunning.

I would go so far as to say it’s my favourite film bar none, and I don’t say such a thing lightly. It has its flaws, but it speaks to me.

What’s more stunning still is that most of the $7,000 budget was film stock. Because it was filmed. On film. Ain’t nothing like the 16mm look, truly.

And what's even more stunning is that most of it was done in one take because, well, they only had $7,000 to budget on film stock.

Shane Caruth also starred in the movie, wrote it, directed it, edited, and wrote the soundtrack all on his own dime.
