Footprints Trailers

An amnesiac young woman (Sybil Temtchine) wakes up, face down on the footprints of Graumans Chinese Theatre, and spends one day, from sunrise to sunset, entirely on Hollywood Boulevard, piecing together her identity through her interaction with a host of disparate characters and famous locales.

Storytelling at its best! Very imaginative. It has heart, it has drama, it has nostalgia. It makes me wonder about what it was like at another time in Hollywood. I'm still thinking about it. Writer-Director Steven Peros took a simple idea that not too many people would think about and turned it into a believable journey that every person can relate to. Every frame grabbed my attention and kept me going till the very end. The acting was very well done. It's film making at its best where there is no need for blow-ups, violence, or robots. I would see it again just to get re-inspired by the cinematography. I hope it inspires more film makers to make more films like this. See it.

I really enjoyed the highly original film "Footprints" at the Egyptian Theater! It's very exciting to see a filmmaker step out and make a story that cannot be compared to any other. The gradual unveiling of all the mythological elements made for a very captivating story with the perfectly crafted pieces fitting together beautifully. At the end, the film's surprise makes sense. All of the characters were well drawn and well cast- the acting was very believable and fun. I look forward to the success of Footprints and other movies that Steven Peros will undoubtedly make in the future, hopefully again starring Sybil Temtchine, who definitely belongs in every frame!!

It's something special when a film stays with you for awhile. I caught a screening of "Footprints" with my friends at the Denver Fest last year. We still talk about this finely-crafted indie when we get together. It resonates.All of us were smitten by its charm and admired the film-making. From the very opening sequence we were hooked and intrigued by its mystery.We were particularly impressed with the lead's graceful and honest performance. We rooted for her during her journey every step of the way! A beautiful film. A must see.

I saw the film when it screened at the Denver Film Festival this November. It is beautifully framed, smartly directed, and interesting. It felt like the films of the 40s (almost film noir, but not as dark) superimposed with modern times. Comfortable, yet mysterious. Filmed in Hollywood, it covered many of the familiar sights that so represent the city, yet was never old nor boring. It was well paced and made sense, and actually had not just an end, but a satisfying ending, unlike many of the screened movies... There were many nuances and undercurrents that the viewer has to watch for, and I wish that I had been able to catch the second screening to enhance those that I had already picked up on. It can be as deep, or as shallow, as the viewer wants, but will never be boring. I highly recommend this film. Catch it if you can...
