Beautifully shot intimate film

"I would like to just say that the cinematographer, Cliff Richhart, did an amazing job of capturing the atmosphere of this small town. It's gritty, it's textured, and it helps supports the cast (which was amazing) as another character.
Fred's old beat up double-wide (rendered aging and decrepit by Production Designer Tom Walker), took on a life of its own, swallowing up the lives of these wandering twenty-somethings in the same way as the bleak landscape.
James Thomas Gilbert rocks as "Duck," the almost un-lovable loser. He's funny, yet deeply sad. Jessica McClendon deserved every bit of praise she received on the film festival circuit (Best Actress - MicroCinema Fest) for her portrayal of insecure femininity figuring itself out amongst a male-dominated, ego-centric myopic existence.
I can honestly say that almost every aspect of this film blew me away, from the music to the craft services. As for the directing however, I should let someone else comment. I don't think I'm in any place to pass judgment."
