The inspiring part of this film was that it was made on $700 - but it really showed. Seeing 'The Actress' made me realise that digital technology in cinemas looks like student film-making - it looked really amateur and hindered the acting performances. Steve McCall saved the film with his performance of character Kevin. The plot was pretty unoriginal and predictable, and wasn't executed very excitingly. However, hats off to Zilditch for the minuscule budget and managing to get a film quality enough to be accepted into film festivals. I wonder though if it has been used as just the 'token digital film' for failure of finding a better one. Also, wanking jokes are not that funny.
