Road Signs: The Movie (2001)
Not great, but not bad
If you are a fan of true independent films then you will be able to let a lot of the technical aspects of this films slide. I think this was the director's first film, so he should be congratulated at least for getting it completed. Technical aspects aside, the film is well acted (Especially David Fleming as Todd) and well written. The dialogue is snappy and current. The pace is a bit quick, not enough time is given to reactions, which is common with first films. Overall, at 85 minutes, I am sure you can find worse things to do. Oh yeah, in another note, the film is male oriented. That is not saying that chicks won't dig it too, but the high maintenance sorority sisters of the world may not find the brand of humor to their liking.
Someday I Suppose (2005)
An excellent independent film!
Having been a fan of Rommel's work for the last 13 years, I can say his latest is his best and he keeps growing with each endeavor. While of course there are some technical issues, as there are with any TRUE independent film, they are easily overlooked due to the great acting and wonderful dialogue. Rommel and screenwriter Merit Alexander have a knack of getting real life performances from the actors with witty and current dialogue, which, surprise!, is how people in real life speak and relate to each other! The plot is something that was very refreshing and new and can appeal to a wide audience, even if they cannot actually relate to the situation...I won't spoil it. Hopefully as Rommel's career broadens people and studios will begin to realize that independent films can have commercially viable parts and do not have to be strictly regulated to "art film". I recommend this film to anyone who is tired of the "Indie-Wood" films out there, and want to see some really great "True"independent film.
