Putting a camera in the hands of people whose own medium is not film, often leads to interesting final products, a passage down a road less travelled, an opportunity to experience the world through a novice’s eyes. Heck, careers have been launched and even whole cinematic movements have been birthed because of such shoe-strap filmmaking. Creators working within the confines of limited budget and experience assembling a product from scratch with nary a plan in hand tend to serve their audiences a platter of rare delights screaming for appreciation. On the flipside, Hiroshi Yamamori’s debut feature “Promise In The Palm” is a nauseatingly lifeless ordeal, an incomprehensible mess that falls flat on its face with all the grace, composure, and awkward hilarity of a Neil Breen or James Nguyen dud.
