interesting low-buget indie film
A 'coming of age' movie about a teenager who is given a video camera. He begins to obsessively video everything around him but in the process emotionally distances himself from everyone and starts to discover and question he's own sexuallity. It's not a 'great' film, the in-experience of the actors & low buget show through, but I enjoyed it more as I got into. There's alot of views through the camera, jerky movement, odd angles, crude edits , which unfortunately become irritating by the end. A film for those who like foreign indie low-buget risk taking films. dvd includes an audio commentary by the two co-writers, co-directors.

curiously Involving
made for about a tenner you do though get a sense of intimacy with the 'film- maker'.
I only stuck with it since there was nothing else on or to watch as yeah, the home made jerky quirky camera style does get timesome after a while (yeah we got it already) but in terms of filmmaking and scripting an idea and getting it to screen it IS accomplished and the story does kind of make sense - and you do want him to accomplish his own goals (ice skating, friendship, paternal bonding, getting laid) in the end.
It could easily be a half hour shorter which i think would make it better but worth watching if you're a film student type and wondering about how to do it with very limited resources. A worthy effort. -
