    Is making indie cinema for gen-z "vintage"?
    Look out, here comes a new generation of American indie filmmakers; with distinctly more diverse casting than ever before, even a decade after Dunham's "Girls" and Greta Gerwig perfecting the genre and now helmihg the director's stick, "Actual People" puts on its predecessor's old proclivities for too-long dialogues, badly lit sets, unimaginative framing and hand-held cinematography. What used to actually mean something aesthetically 15-20 years ago, wears itself here like pure creative laziness. You only get glimpses of genuine originality through IG stories-like fragments, but they are far and too few to really give a feeling of intention.
