Sunday Matinee: Sasq-watch [Film]

“Nigel and Oscar have finally gotten funding for their sasquatch expedition! But when their guide bails and rival Claus also joins the hunt, they must assemble a rag-tag crew of outdoorsmen to be first to track down the undiscovered beast.” – October Coast PR

The world is a frightening place these days. Whether we think a nuke is coming at us from the east, or we are wondering how we will survive during yet another government shutdown, life has become far too serious lately. So, I suggest we all take a moment to find something to laugh and/or smile about. And I believe I may have something that works wonders. It is a very funny and rightfully goofy film Sasqwatch.

Not every film has to have a real deep message involved in its story line, it only seems that way during the Awards season. Sometimes it is just about being a damn fun movie to watch. And Sasqwatch is a damn fun movie. It has every form of comedy you could want, from physical to self deprecation. With all the looming misery and despair going around, I feel like this film is just the right antidote to get us all back up on our feet and moving into a better direction.

Sasqwatch also holds an array of brilliant performances. Paul Brittain and Adam Herschmann have a brilliant goofball chemistry that is reminiscent of our favorite buddy comedy duos from the 90’s, and Christine Bentley is perfectly on cue as the straight woman who would rather be anywhere else, doing absolutely anything else than wandering the woods with a couple of full on dum-dums. And then there are the two that REALLY steal the show — Neil Flynn and Tim Meadows. Now, I am on record as stating that Tim Meadows is without a doubt one of the finest comedic actors of our time. There is not a single project that he has touched that wasn’t made better simply by his presence. His brief appearance in Mean Girls shot that films likability up a thousand points for me. As do his appearances on the somewhat lackluster of a show The Goldbergs. He simply can do no wrong. And he brings more of that brilliant deadpan humor to Sasqwatch and again he adds flavor to the whole dynamic of the film, even when he is playing the “bad guy”.

And Neil Flynn. Holy shit. Flynn really stole the show for me. He managed to take his signature straight-man in a goofy situation routine, and turn into a man of nature character. And boy does he deliver. If Neil was looking to put on a face that was consistently non-verbally stating, ‘Are you fucking kidding me?”, the dude nailed it! It is one of the most perfect performances of anything that I have seen in a great while.

Sasqwatch is available now on DVD and across all digital platforms, wherever you find movies. Check out the trailer here:

Sunday Matinee: Shooting Clerks [Preview]

A few years ago, I came across a little project that has been one of the most intriguing pieces of art that I have ever watched develop via the internet in our current world of constant updates. It’s called Shooting Clerks. Over the last 4 years or so, I have watched what seemed like just a strangle little fan film at first turn into a full blown motion picture that is not only supported and endorsed by the great Kevin Smith himself and the people that surrounded him during his time making the seminal film Clerks almost 25 years ago, but has led to numerous guest appearances by the OG Clerks cast themselves! It has been so exciting to watch the slow churn of development that has been the making of this amazing Scottish bred & Jersey inspired project come to form. And I am very excited to see what the final product is going to be like, as I have not yet gotten to take a look at it, but I almost readily assured that it is going to be fantastic and I will put all of my digital weight behind (for whatever that is worth).

For you avid readers out there, you may remember that we have already spoken with the film’s creator, Christopher Downie, about the project during its premiere right in the film’s origin center, New Jersey. And just two days ago we spoke with the brilliant young actor, Chris Bain, who portrayed the legendary Jason Mewes. And in the past we have spoken with such legendary figures from the Clerks and View Askewniverse like Marilyn Ghigliotti, Ernie O’Donnell, and Scott Schiaffo from Clerks, as well as Matthew Maher and Bud Cort from another View Askew classic, Dogma. I mention these great interviews only to heighten the fact to you that I am so excited that this movie is making its way across the globe. And for those of you that are currently reading from my side of the pond here in Great Britain, the film is coming to you soon! The film is going premiering in London on Tuesday, January 16th at the Prince Charles Cinema – 8:45pm. It is sure to be a hell of an event that should not be missed if you find yourself in the greater London area. And be sure to check in tomorrow for an extremely special interview with another brilliant actor from Clerks who will appear right here on these digital pages. It is one that will definitely leave you saying, “I’m definitely supposed to be here today.” Yep, you probably guessed it.

Tickets for the event can be found via The Prince Charles Cinema, and be sure to check out the Q&A to follow. Per the cinema’s website:

Post-Film Q&A with Christopher Downie (Director), Ryan James (Producer), Brett Murray (producer/Bryan Johnson), Chris Bain (Jason Mewes), Tom Sullivan (Jeff Anderson), Stephanie Price (Lisa Spoonauer) and Jay Booton (Dave Klein), Beverly Longhurst (actor – Kevin’s Mother, Grace) and Jonny Glasgow (actor – Ernie O’Donnell) – SPECIAL GUEST JUST ANNOUNCED : John Henry Westhead aka Olaf the ‘Berserker’ Metal Singer!!!!

Sunday Matinee: Cannibal Farm [Film]

“The Harver family head out on an idyllic summer camping trip where they can bury past tensions and enjoy some family bonding. But when their camp is sabotaged by an unseen intruder in the night, they head to the nearby creepy old farm desperate for help, where vengeful farmer Hunt Hansen and his hideously deformed son aren’t farming animals…” – October Coast PR

Let’s start things off here with a call to all the real die hard horror fans out there: this one is EXACTLY for you. I can in full confidence state that Cannibal Farm is one of the finest blood soaked experiences to be brought to the screen in quite a long time. It has everything you need! From betrayal to a brilliant mixture of gore and jump scares all the way back around to ridiculously overdone monologues that graciously add to the overgrowing fear and anxiety that comes with watching a full on massacre occur.

A few weeks ago, I made a statement on the podcast Super Geeky Play Date about how I wanted to see the cannibalism aspect of horror films become a as commonplace and popular as zombie and vampire films. Little did I know that awaiting in my inbox was exactly what I was talking about. Cannibal Farm is an amazing callback to all of the gruesome fun that was developed in the late 70’s and throughout the 80’s. It’s a bit campy, as it should be. It’s a tad bit over emotional, also as it should be. And just when you think you have seen the height of the film’s insanity, hold the fucking phone, because something even more insane is right around the proverbial (and maybe literal) corner.

 

I simply can not stress this enough people: this is a genuinely amazing horror film. Writer/director Charlie Steeds brings us a wonderfully stylized work of torture and delightfully frightening moving images that deserves at least a few viewings. Check it out!

Cannibal Farm is available now on VOD. Check out the trailer here:

Tom of Finland [Film]

Welcome to Day 12 of our unofficially titled “12 Non-Holiday Films for the Holidays”. For 12 days, we are showcasing 12 amazing non-holiday themed films for those of us who despise holiday films or the whole damned season altogether. Enjoy!

“Touko Laaksonen, a decorated officer, returns home after a harrowing and heroic experience serving his country in World War II. But life in Finland during peacetime proves equally distressing. He finds post-war Helsinki rampant with homophobic persecution, and gay men around him are being pressured to marry women and have children. Touko finds refuge in his liberating art: homoerotic drawings of muscular men, free of inhibitions.

But it is only when an American publisher sees them and invites Tuoko over to the West Coast that his life really takes a turn. Finally being able to walk free and proud in Los Angeles, Tuoko dives head first into the sexual revolution, becoming an icon and a rallying point. His work – made famous by his signature ‘Tom of Finland’ – became the emblem of a generation of men and fanned the flames of the worldwide gay revolution.” – Emma Griffiths PR

For our grand finale of our 12 Non-Holiday Films for the Holidays, we have a very special film to showcase. “Tom Of Finland” is a historical figure I quite honestly had no idea about until watching this cinematic masterpiece. With an absolutely brilliant portrayal of Tuoko himself, Pekka Strang gives the performance of his lifetime that deserves so much more acclaim than he has received this year. Whether you have a wealth of knowledge on the subject of the film, or you are novice like myself, Tom Of Finland is a gem of a film that you are sure to love.

 

Tom of Finland is available now VOD and wherever you stream movies! Check out the trailer here:

Driving While Black [Film]

Welcome to Day 11 of our unofficially titled “12 Non-Holiday Films for the Holidays”. For 12 days, we are showcasing 12 amazing non-holiday themed films for those of us who despise holiday films or the whole damned season altogether. Enjoy!

“Dmitri is a pizza guy who would rather smoke weed and suffer for his art, but his mom and his girl won’t stop nagging him to get a real job. When he’s offered a gig mouthing off to tourists behind the wheel of a Hollywood “star tour” bus, it looks like everyone might get what they want. Trouble is, our man can’t seem to step out the door to get to the interview without endless complications: busted radiators, simple weed scores gone sideways and LAPD cruisers seemingly everywhere. Dmitri’s skill at going unnoticed by cops is honed by painful experiences growing up Black in L.A., but even his keen survival instincts won’t save him from the week from hell.” – October Coast PR

Oh we have another amazing film with a real message to share with you fine folks today! Driving While Black doesn’t exactly leave much to the imagination of what the film may be about, yet it is filled with an abundance of surprises and startling content that is going to leave your simple mind absolutely blown away. And if it doesn’t, then it is possible that there is something absolutely wrong with you if you can not see this comedic pot of gold as anything short of a call for change and/or help.

Filmmaker Paul Sapino has managed to bring a collection of real life experiences from DWB‘s star Dominique Purdy to the big screen in one of the most compelling, and also hilarious at times, film of 2017. Purdy wasn’t entirely on my radar prior to watching this amazing flick, but his comedic wit and realistic acting abilities has definitely moved him up on the top of my must watch list. And Sapino seems to have a cinematic sensibility that is an absolutely positive addition to the world of film that simply should not be denied.

Driving While Black is definitely a stand alone piece of brilliant cinema and comparison to other works are not exactly necessary. But, I sort of feel like I have to do it. This film is absolutely Crash, but actually impactful, and just an all around better film. The impact of the film comes from its brilliant dramatization of modern day race relations, which is one thing that Crash tried to do, but time has shown that it ultimately failed. But the other comparison comes from the film’s focus on tying the every day lives of individuals into one singular story, which ultimately revolved around race relations. And this is just another example of how DWB absolutely beat Crash’s proverbial ass in this realm. I was absolutely shocked with the creative ways that this film manage to flip everything around and bring each individual story back around on its ass to create an ending that was a bit disturbing, only because it feels as though it is the most realistic way that a film like this could end. Also, it is based on actual events, so it was basically inevitable.

Overall, Driving While Black is an absolutely wonderful film that is worthy of multiple viewings, because each time you are guaranteed to learn something brand new. Of course, this is coming from a white guy with a blog. For those folks out there living every day in black skin, this may not be a real learning experience, but simply an amazing cinematic dramatization of everyday life that might be appreciated for its raw and unrestrictive commentary. But for the rest of you motherfuckers (me/us), please watch this movie a few times, and try to learn something. And if after a few viewings you still can’t get it, please at the very least, stay off the Internet. Forever.

Driving While Black will hit theaters across the U.S. on February 1st.

 

The Spiderwebhouse [Film]

Welcome to Day 10 of our unofficially titled “12 Non-Holiday Films for the Holidays”. For 12 days, we are showcasing 12 amazing non-holiday themed films for those of us who despise holiday films or the whole damned season altogether. Enjoy!

“12-year-old Jonas confidently takes on the responsibility for his two younger siblings when his mother leaves them behind for a weekend away. He isolates himself and his siblings more and more and they start to drift away into their own fantastic world. But the weekend grows into weeks in which the three children hear nothing from their mother. Food and money have long since run out and the house has become more like a haunted castle.” – October Coast PR

This is another great showcase of the human struggle, something that has become sort of a theme of our showcases here at Trainwreck’d Society. But, such is life. The Spiderwebhouse is also another film involving a cast of mainly children, yet alone it is about disertion and the struggle to stay alive, it’s far less disturbing that its predecessor in this showcase, Playground. No, this is a film that is filled with hope. It is a masterpiece of cinema built around 3 human beings who should never have to put so much focus on the hope of simply staying alive. Especially as it falls onto a 12 year old boy who is forced to make everything alright, in anyway he can.

And that 12 year old boy was performed brilliantly by the relatively new actor named Ben Litwinschuh, who I feel could really strive in the world of acting should he decide to continue putting out amazing performances like he did as Jonas in this film. The whole thing is centered around Jonas, and what he has to do to continue to provide for his younger siblings, as he shithead parents continue to only worry about their own problems. I say this is vain, knowing full well that Jonas’s mother was actually off dealing with an illness that she had to be cured of, in which we are lead to believe that she will be able to rid herself of her cursed demons, but sadly there is a greater chance that they will return. But, I feel as though there may have been a bit of a cultural difference that I may be missing out on when it comes to their estranged(?) father, who actually lives near by. What was his deal? I found it kind of hard to understand why he was unable to be more active in the situation, although he did try at a certain point, around the time that hope was all but lost.

 

But, that one factor about the father aside could not take away from the lovely story that was unfolding, and the cinematic genius that I was experiencing in watching this tastefully down piece of film gold. Filmmaker Mara Eibl-Eibesfeldt has brought us something truly special in this black and white masterpiece. The black and white aspect of the film was actually an amazing touch, and is proof that sometimes this is how a story must be told. A sort of surreal element tends to divulge itself when the human eye is seeing a story being laid out from an unfamiliar lens. Screenwriter Johanna Stuttmann’s story of The Spiderwebhouse was so powerful that it probably could have worked in color, but after seeing the film like this, I wouldn’t want to imagine it in any other way.

The Spiderwebhouse is available now on VOD and wherever you watch movies. Check out the trailer for the film, right here:

Fast Convoy [Film]

Welcome to Day 9 of our unofficially titled “12 Non-Holiday Films for the Holidays”. For 12 days, we are showcasing 12 amazing non-holiday themed films for those of us who despise holiday films or the whole damned season altogether. Enjoy!

“Seven men, four cars and 1,300 kilos of cannabis leave Malaga, southern Spain, headed for Creil on the outskirts of Paris. But for Alex, Yacine and Majid, what should be a regular run turns into a fatal convoy. When Nadia, a young tourist traveling home from Morocco joins them, she’s dragged into their high adrenaline adventure. For one night, she and the audience are immersed in the violent reality of drug trafficking.” – Emma Griffiths PR

At its core, Fast Convoy seems like it is just another high speed thriller that is nothing short of an eye candy laced cinematic experience. Which is definitely true, but not a full and correct representation of what I saw on the screen whilst watching this French modern day classic of a thriller. It takes all of the elements of a Fast & Furious franchise that make it popular, but adds actual depth to the characters and storyline to make it even more enjoyable.

The intelligence of a thriller like this really should come as no surprise, as filmmaker Frédéric Schoendoerffer has been pulling of these sort of actual and proverbial stunts for quite some time, and Fast Convoy is just the latest (and possible the best)  piece of art in his arsenal. And while we are on the subject of brilliance, it behooves me to mention just how fantastic, and sometimes frightening,Benoît Magimel’s performance was in this film. It feels though a performance like this Magimel’s simply doesn’t come around as often as we would like. But when it does, it is fucking magic, and we are all the merrier for it.

Fast Convoy is more than just a film, it is an experience. It is a project filled with overwhelming and beautiful visual scenarios that are absolutely stunning. These visuals are based around a truly gripping and suspenseful story that will leave you wondering who you are exactly rooting for in the film’s scenario. The lines between good and evil are so blurred, you honestly will have no idea what to think. The only thing you are sure to understand is that you are in the moment with a truly brilliant cinematic experience, and you are going to hope that the ride never ends!

Fast Convoy is available now on VOD, and wherever you watch movies. Check out the trailer here:

Apocalypse Road [Film]

Welcome to Day 8 of our unofficially titled “12 Non-Holiday Films for the Holidays”. For 12 days, we are showcasing 12 amazing non-holiday themed films for those of us who despise holiday films or the whole damned season altogether. Enjoy!

“Following a post-apocalyptic event, two sisters are hunted down and separated by a gang of ruthless killers intent on creating their own twisted form of law and order.  The sisters must fight through this new, dangerous world to stay alive in the hopes of being reunited, and escaping to freedom.” – October Coast PR

I have to be forthright here, and say that I believe that Apocalypse Road is at the very least, a film that is WAY better than it should have been. The production value is so simple, that it actually thrives intensely because of it. So often I watch some of these lower budget films with up and coming actors, and the problem is always consistent: they over do it. Apocalypse Road is a film that simply does it right. It is an absolute visual masterpiece. The simplistic nature of the filming actually makes the film appear as though it was done with 7 to 8 figure budget. It is stylized perfectly, and each performance given is done with a perfect amount of zeal and demonstrates and appropriate amount of shock value at the right times. No one is safe, no one is of any real value. Overall, this is just a great story, brought masterfully into a visual realm.

My first question after a run through of Apocalypse Road was: who the hell is this Brett Bentman guy? Writer and director of this film, he has also put out a few other projects that are absolutely intriguing in their own right. But judging solely off of this one effort, I have to say that I already feel like we have the workings of a brilliant mind in the world of independent film who will one day thrive and become a household name in Hollywood. He is a filmmaker who can create such a great quality of work, that throwing a shit ton more money at him won’t entirely matter, but I’m sure he could figure out how to use it wisely! I have made it my goal to check out the rest of his work, and to follow along closely with whatever he does in the future. Get on board now folks, if you want to have that “I knew him when…” conversation in the very near future. I repeat, Brett Bentman is the future!

And it behooves me to mention that the film’s lead characters Ashlyn McEvers and Katie Kohler are absolutely phenomenal as well. In fact, with hopes of causing little to no spoilers in this article, there is a moment where Kohler uses the power of silence and facial expressions, followed by an outburst of fear and rage, to as perfectly describe a moment a character feels complete and utter regret about as perfectly as I have ever watched an actress do before at any level in their career. And McEvers pulls off a strong will in spite of everything character to a perfectly capital T. I’ve always been a fan of films with a strong female lead (according to my Netflix search criteria anyway), so to see a film like Apocalypse Road which features two very different characters, who are strong in their own manner, is a pretty damn good thing to see.

Apocalypse Road is all around fascinating, and is one of the finest post-apocalyptic tales to be brought to the screen in recent history. It is without a shadow of a doubt, a must see.

Apocalypse Road is available on VOD from Wild Eye Releasing. Check out the trailer below:

The Bill Murray Experience [Film]

Welcome to Day 7 of our unofficially titled “12 Non-Holiday Films for the Holidays”. For 12 days, we are showcasing 12 amazing non-holiday themed films for those of us who despise holiday films or the whole damned season altogether. Enjoy!

“After ending her engagement and finding herself at a loss for inspiration Katz, finds herself up late at night searching the internet. In her loneliness, she keeps clicking on stories of others having magical chance encounters with her favorite actor and life guru Bill Murray. Katz shares with the audience that she finds herself at a loss as to why she needs to meet Bill Murray but, that’s part of the intrigue and pleasure of knowing that secretly we all wish we had a little Murray Magic in our life…which starts both Sadie and the audience on the quest of finding the unfindable and zany Bill Murray.” – Cinematic Red PR

Oh, what a brilliant film do we have to tell you about today folks! Our dear friend, the legendary actress from the world of horror and beyond, Sadie Katz, is making her directorial debut with an amazingly poignant and fascinating documentary about one of the most fascinating individuals of the last 40 years. As you could guess, it is about Bill Murray. Yet, it’s really not. This is Sadie’s tale. Sure, it is about the somewhat mystical events around an actor with one of the largest cult followings of all time. But, this is simply Sadie’s story that focuses around Mr. Murray. This film is a tale about a woman who is at some sort of proverbial crossroads in her life, and has chosen to focus on something somewhat arbitrary to heal her wounds. It is a film that is meant to show you just how much growth Katz had to endure while she was on what seemed like an impossible quest, in order to (as corny as it sounds)…truly find herself.

Oh yeah, and it is FUN! With all emotional turbulence aside, this is an amazingly fun adventure of a film, loaded with some pretty amazing interviews, wild antics of Sadie herself and her friends, and some pretty amazing animation to help move things along as well. Animation that was brilliantly done by our old friend Mr. Jim Towns, by the way! As serious of a journey that Sadie was having along the way, she still managed to make something truly exciting and a joy to watch. I really do believe that this speaks loudly about her personality, and the type of wonderful person that Katz is in general.

 

One of my greatest personal takeaways from the film, comes from the fact that I am actually just kind of an idiot. It’s something that I know will seem ridiculous to many of you much wiser readers out there. But, I have to get it off my chest. Here we go: Joel Murray is Bill Murray’s brother??? I swear to whatever you believe in, I had never put the namesake together. I have always been a fan of Joel and Bill separately in their own ways. But, I never threw them together in any way shape or form. Joel was Fitz from one of my all-time favorite sitcoms, Still Standing. He was the male lead alongside our pal Tara Lynne Barr in one of my favorite films of all time, God Bless America. Mad Men, Shameless, and on and on. But, he was never Bill Murray’s brother, as best as I knew. But apparently, the Murray bloodline is just loaded with genius! Phew, glad to get that off my chest. Joel added a lot of context to The Bill Murray Experience, and was an absolutely brilliant addition to the project, so he had to be acknowledged.

Overall, The Bill Murray Experience is an amazingly fun film that you all must see. The film is masterfully shot, and brilliantly executed. It is a truly original documentary should be rightfully enjoyed by everyone! Sadie Katz has truly knocked it out of the park on her first at bat, proving that beyond her already well-established acting career, that she is a woman of many means, and can do absolutely anything she puts her mind to in this storytelling world.

The Bill Murray Experience is available TODAY on VOD and wherever else you may watch movies. Check out the trailer for the film here:

 

Kepler’s Dream [Film]

Welcome to Day 6 of our unofficially titled “12 Non-Holiday Films for the Holidays”. For 12 days, we are showcasing 12 amazing non-holiday themed films for those of us who despise holiday films or the whole damned season altogether. Enjoy!

“Eleven-year-old Ella (Isabella Blake-Thomas) is a city girl forced to spend the summer on the New Mexico ranch of her reclusive grandmother, Violet Von Stern (Holland Taylor), while Ella’s mom (Kelly Lynch) undergoes chemotherapy in another state. As she tries to cope with her grandmother’s strict rules and snooty friends, Ella longs for her mother and begs her estranged father for rescue. But Ella’s dad (Sean Patrick Flanery) has his own reasons to stay away from his childhood home. Meanwhile, Ella finds allies in fatherly ranch hand Miguel (Steven Michael Quezada) and his down-to-earth daughter, Rosie (Esperanza Fermin). But when a priceless book is stolen from Violet’s collection, Miguel is the key suspect, and Ella must find the real thief in order to save her friends. Emotional connections are reshaped, and a family that was lost finds its way.” – October Coast PR

I was quite honestly a bit put off at the concept of the film. I have an obvious prejudice towards that fancy little “YA” label. Whenever I know that something is attached to the Young Adult model of art, I feel as though I should automatically refrain from partaking in any sort of viewership. But, as I tend to be from time to time, I was completely wrong. I knew the cast of the film seemed pretty amazing, and are folks that I have enjoying in very different types of roles. So I took that little bit of hope, and dug into Kepler’s Dream. And I was not disappointed. This was a fantastic film on several different levels.

The subtle yet vast & natural back drop that only a place like the American Southwest can provide plays a key factor in the serenity of Kepler’s Dream. The rolling hills lay gently over the lengthy, grass-patched desert and can be very overwhelming for those who may be used to much more abrasive and in your face types of scenery. While I adore the mountains and trees of the great Northwest, sometimes the beauty that lay within the desert can be just as overwhelming. I strongly believe that Kepler’s Dream taking place in ‘The Mud Hut” within the borders of New Mexico is a huge factor in the success of the film. The desert will always create its own character in whatever film it will appear within. This is just fact.

But, as we often do here at Trainwreck’d Society, we must acknowledge the tremendous performances I was so fortunate to witness. Obviously  Holland Taylor is a damned delight. She is a natural wonder of the screen who seems to only have an A game when she appears in anything. Kelly Lynch, Sean Patrick Flannery, and Michael Quezada, are also some amazing actors who could have really phoned it in for this little film, but they absolutely did not. They were charming, impeccable, and proved that they are masters of their craft.

Now let’s talk about the real performance that everyone should recognize as a shining achievement. And that performance was given by the very talented actress in the leading role known as Isabella Blake-Thomas. I will admit, I was unaware of this young lady until now. Although she seems to have been working since the day she was born according to her credits. Isabella’s performance as Ella was absolutely spot on, and a delight to watch. It’s hard to not nail that child like wonder, when you are indeed a child yourself. But, the ability to project that emotion to a screen is an accomplishment in itself. And I dare say that Isabella Blake-Thomas is an actress who will only continue to impress us as she moves forward. Kepler’s Dream will be but a distant memory in her growing list of credits, but we will surely remember her brilliance at this time.

Go ahead and see the film folks! Kepler’s Dream may be an adaptation of a “Young Adult” book, but it is truly an inspiring tale from Juliet Bell, no matter what audience the story is geared towards. Watch it with your daughter, or niece, or son, or whoever if that makes you feel better. But honestly, it is just a heart-warming tale that you are going to thoroughly enjoy. It is a tale of wonder and mystery set against a lovely desert background. There really is so much to love here!

Kepler’s Dream is available now on VOD and wherever you watch movies. Check out the trailer courtesy of Flickering Myth:
