Double Digits: The Story of a Neighborhood Movie Star (2015)
Heart warming and inspirational
Richard 'R.G.' Miller is the epitome of a modern day Don Quixote and watching his internal struggle to find perfection in his films is not only fascinating, but is also something that should resonate in the heart of every creative artist. Unbiased interviews with family members, friends and even Miller himself provide a heartwarming and inspirational look at how one man has been able touch the lives of an entire community (and potentially, the world via YouTube).
The real prize though is in it's final moments when 'Double Digits: The Story of Neighborhood Movie Star' truly reminds us of why we make films in the first place: to capture the hearts and minds of others - no matter the age and no matter the cost.
