CGiii Comment

A young man commits suicide in smalltown America...in the middle of nowhere.

His Dutch friend flies in from Amsterdam to investigate through the medium of film. Gripped?

It's not a gripping film...punctuated with verite interviews of lesbian/gay life that say nothing new nor do they propel the story forward.

It's a film with a clear agenda with obvious dichotomies...the admirable ambition behind the film unfortunately outweighed the talent...but, there is a raw potential in evidence - desperately in need of refinement, experience and guidance.

Onwards and upwards.

The(ir) Blurb...

Distraught by the suicide of her gay friend Matt, Alexa travels from Amsterdam to her dead friend's small American town, hoping to uncover the reasons that led Matt to take his own life. She arrives with a backpack, her video camera and intentions to make a film about what it must be like to be gay in Bumblefuck, USA. At the end of her hot summer weeks in Bumblefuck, she's made a new special friend, clashed with others, and ultimately discovered more about herself than she could ever have imagined.
