“we saw this film last nite as part of the woodstock film festival and was quite impressed with everything. usually i want to edit out a lot of most movies i see– but this film u0026quot;blew us away.u0026quot; It had a tight script with excellent acting and cinematography. the music central to the film was complementary and not overwhelming.. A refreshing indie film without the numerous product placements of Hollywood.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ethe film gave you a real sense of relationships-father- son, race in arkansas– both from a white and black perspective. the film was shot in the hometown of the director and you really felt the sense of community.. It felt realistic enough to be a docudrama in the best sense.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ewe all left the theater in an uplifted mood wanting to hear more music from jake la botz and hoping the film will get a major release so many of our friends can share our enjoyment.. see this film if you can you wonu0026#39;t be disappointed..”
