I just snagged a pair of tickets for my baby’s mama and I to see The Caller. Since I didn’t have a lot of time to really go through the guide and do my usual research I cut my search short and found this cool looking neo-noir crime drama by return filmmaker Richard Ledes. Even though festival screenings are hit or miss I usually walk away with something whether it be a daring performance, stellar photography, the name of a producer to add to the personal database (note: film festival websites are a good source to find contact info) or just inspiration. Either way it’s a chance to keep the tradition going and in the time between now and next year I’ll have a year under my belt as a parent and maybe the festival can get a grip on its own identity crisis, again.
