Big Voice is a wonderfully uplifting documentary about teenagers striving for excellence and the choir teacher who demands it. This film offers a glimpse into a world that most people know nothing about. I was completely drawn in by the teacher, the students and their stories. This incredibly demanding pursuit is only one of the many activities they each juggle and yet each time the bar is raised, they strive to meet it. The filmmakers did a wonderful job of making the audience feel like we were at the choir rehearsals and part of what was happening on screen. I was incredibly inspired by the students and wold love to know what they are doing now.

Li Lu's beautiful independent film boldly explores a young woman's reckless reaction to the panic of her late twenties. The struggle is real and Lu skillfully, and without judgement, shows how the desperate need to achieve some level of relationship and career success can force you to make decisions you wouldn't otherwise consider. This is not your typical independent film. The characters and motivations depicted are honest and the relationships are filled with the manic highs and lows of new love. Lu has the courage to deftly use quiet moments that allow the audience to focus on the story, stunning imagery and beautifully composed music.
