REVIEW FROM TONIGHT AT THE MOVIES

Picture
"The kind of movie one hopes to discover when watching unsigned, unknown movies at film festivals, Into the Wake is a smart impressionistic mystery-cum-thriller.. An intelligently structured script, even-handed direction...impressive sound design, some beautiful camera work, and a confident performance from Miller. Combined, they make Into the Wake an impressive directorial debut, and a film worth checking out should it hit a festival near you (or more likely cable/Netflix)."

Into The Wake takes home another big award from Dances With Films, the "defiantly independent festival of raw talent", which ran this week at the state of the art  Grauman's Chinese Theater complex in Hollywood.   Apart from providing great recognition among a strong pool of up and coming filmmakers, this award offers access to the hard-to-penetrate inner sanctum of LA agencies and  producers.  Known as "The defiant fest of raw talent" (Hollywood Reporter) Dances With Films is one of the most-watched fests for new talent.

Other fest updates--In addition to receiving a Golden Badger  Award at the Wisconsin Film Fest and Best of Fest  at Tupelo Film Fest, we just received a SPECIAL JURY AWARD at Lighthouse Film Fest in New Jersey.

And for you Texans, Into The Wake will be screening opening night at the San Antonio Film Fest on June 20th!
