    Director to watch
    Many if not most young indie directors are self-indulgent and self-absorbed. Their films are all about them rather than focusing outward, on something that might actually pique the interest of a paying audience. That's why I was so impressed with Things I Don't Understand. In many ways, its themes are universal. Alienation. Relationships. Questions about the afterlife.

    David Spaltro directs with a sure hand of someone with far more experience. The camera work, the editing, the casting far exceeds in quality the paltry budget he apparently had to work with. Take a look and mark his name down. What I tell you now is the cinematic equivalent of my telling you about Apple at $6 a share. You're welcome.
