No Footing (2009)

No Footing: Directed by Michael Licisyn. With Jensen Jacobs, Jake Matthews, Derek Lindeman, Michael Bower. All 23-year-old Madison wanted to be was an artist. Now out of college a year and a half, she finds herself no closer to successful career then when she began. Stuck in a dead end job at a local copy shop, her relationships crumbling around her, and a complete lack of inspiration to aspire for more, Madison attempts to jump start her career and get her life started.

“If youu0026#39;re an art student that thinks itu0026#39;s enough to just go to art school and wait for someone to u0026quot;discoveru0026quot; you, see this movie; itu0026#39;s a much more realistic portrayal of the trials and tribulations we face as artists post-college.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou would have no idea that this film is an indie because itu0026#39;s shot beautifully – great color, perfect sound, lighting, etc. Madison is charming and natural beauty (no fake plastic Hollywood here!) This is clearly the work of a filmmaker who is writing what he knows.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t want to give any spoilers here, so Iu0026#39;m just going to talk about why Iu0026#39;m so glad I stumbled upon it. My festival received u0026quot;No Footingu0026quot; as a submission and our panel unanimously voted to make it an Official Selection of Project Twenty1u0026#39;s 2010 Philadelphia Filmathon. After a team of judges reviewed it, it was selected as u0026quot;Best Featureu0026quot; for the festival. We sent a copy to the Philadelphia Inquirer, and they got hooked. Then it started getting into festivals ALL OVER THE PLACE and winning boatloads of awards (not all of them are listed on here for some reason).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI feel so proud that we stumbled upon this jewel and hope that it receives the distribution, attention, and accolades it deserves. Donu0026#39;t forget us humble festival folks here when youu0026#39;re famous!”
