Angel of Anywhere (Trailer)
From director James Kicklighter (Desires of the Heart, Digital Edition), Angel of Anywhere is the story of an empathetic stripper plays therapist to the many damaged clientele and co-workers who frequent the popular Anywhere Bar.
UKFilmReview.com - There is a daring to the craft that does not let the central themes do all of the heavy lifting. Instead, the aesthetic and mise en scéne are just as integral to the movie's power as the characters and dialogue. This can be seen in the wonderfully atmospheric backroom where the key scenes take place, with its cold blue light and sparseness, and Angel filling the room with his almost naked body. This expertly suited the emotional vulnerability of the characters who entered.
ThatMomentIn.com - It is important to pay attention to these details in a Kicklighter movie, written by Kate Murdoch and Casey Nelson, as nothing is not connected, every action tied to the next and ultimately to a twist ending. Things might seem superfluous and have potential to be disregarded as filler, but that is missing the larger point of who and what Angel is and what the end reveals about his fate. It is smart and challenging. Any film that forces questions like this are worth a closer look.
IndyRed.com - Though the short is only about 15 minutes long, it is a perfect example of concept, structure, and execution. Kicklighter and his camera make wonderful use of the loud and colorful club setting. I simply cannot stress enough how excellently this production flows onscreen. From the technical to the acting. It is all really top notch.
