Fresh Starts for Stale People (2013) dir: Robert Malone & Zach Weintraub
***NOW SCREENING! Unemployed college graduates Zach and Rob find themselves adrift in the wake of their education’s real-world uselessness, looking for immediate gratifications wherever possible. A road trip buddy comedy with less than zero production value and the goofiest vibe all year. It’s hard to imagine a movie taking itself less seriously. If you don’t love this movie, you’re probably a parent.

Outside (2013) dir: Zach Fleming

Bad Penny (2012) dir: Ricky Camilleri.
Barry’s childhood friend Shawnsey is staying for a week in Barry’s NYC apartment. Barry has a date and needs Shawnsey to leave for an evening. Starring Linas Phillips, one of the strangest figures (& one of my favs) in current true indie film.

Special Presentation Julien & Claire (2012) dir: Adam Neustadter.
A lush, music-driven mood piece that examines the romance between a young American dancer and a struggling French musician after their chance encounter on the streets of Paris. Beautifully shot, rich with sentiment, impossibly romantic.

Re-release KWAK (2012) dir: Ahmed Khawaja & Andre Puca.
Sherman’s March by way of David Holzman’s Diary made by an Indian Muslim living in Boston. A remarkable film. A vivid portrait of a lovelorn outsider, visually expressive, profoundly elliptical, and very funny.

Sun Don’t Shine (2012) dir: Amy Seimetz

Fake It So Real (2012) dir: Robert Greene
The film follows a ragtag group of wrestlers in North Carolina, exploring what happens when the over-the-top theatrics of the wrestling ring collide with the realities of the working-class South. “There is a rough nobility in the way they strive for fame and success. The film is alive at every moment.” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-times.

Holy God Holy Mighty Holy Immortal Have Mercy Upon Us (2013) dir: Robert Barnett. A supernatural thriller about a woman dealing with the void left by her recently deceased father. Mysterious tone piece with razor sharp editing & gorgeous images.

Primer (2004) dir: Shane Carruth
Four friends/fledgling entrepreneurs, knowing that there’s something bigger and more innovative than the different error-checking devices they’ve built, wrestle over their new invention. One of the most intriguing indies of the last decade.
