    Great Film
    From my research, this is the director's and many of the actors first film. To achieve the quality they did on such a low budget is remarkable. Watched it in my new Sony 4K and it felt as though I was in a theater. The cinematography was Oscar-worthy. A little slow at first, but well written. Go watch it.
