Love Me Do (2015)
Best Film of the Year
Love/Me/Do is the kind of film which demonstrates more than any blockbuster or A-List driven beast ever could that all you need for a good story, well told is a good story, well told. In other words, get Martin Stitt (Director). Take your bloated budget and move it to the side. Crumple your "IT" names and toss them in the trash. Shred your fancy locations and put them back in the recycling bin. Give Stitt a house, sunlight (kudos DP Robin Whenary) and two actors who clearly never learned they're not among the best in the world (Rebecca Calder and Jack Gordon) and sit back and enjoy the ride. It's the kind of ride money can't buy. When your heart's beating, your palms are sweating and your eyes are locked on the screen right up to the final credits, you'll see what I mean.
Keep Your Distance (2005)
Another Entertainer by Stu Pollard
Stu Pollard has penned and directed an engaging film that holds your attention throughout. The casting and performances break out of the Hollywood stereotypes and add to the mystery of the film. Keep Your Distance is not shy about revealing the faults of each character and using the same to propel the plot!! Kudos to all involved!! I truly enjoyed the use of the Kentucky landscape as well as the opportunity to glimpse Kentucky society through the film. Future filmmakers would be advised to investigate non-traditional locals as a way of saving and raising money in addition to allowing a greater diversity to be found in the cinema!!
