The Straitjacket Lottery (2004)
Not to be missed!
Aboslutely fantastic film! I saw it in Halifax and could not be more impressed with it. These two young film makers have produced a wonderful effort here and it should not be missed!
The actors are great (Andy Jones is always wonderful and doesn't disappoint)... the music is fantastic (unlike any other soundtrack I've heard - surreal and fantastic - Dave Scott is a serious talent)... and the film making itself is superb. From the lighting to the camera-work, the film had a subtle and beautiful quality to it, resisting any standard gimmicks.
The story itself had a very clever premise and the subtitles got a ton of well deserved laughs.
Don't know what else to say... just make sure to keep track of Doug Karr and Sierra Bellows in the future. Great job!
