Kimberly Levin, in her writer/director debut of this full feature independent film, demonstrates her nature talents and simultaneously displays the Southern beauty of farm life in Kentucky.The story details some tough decisions in hard economic conditions of the simple life of farmers everywhere. The film skillfully avoids any references to time other than the setting of Halloween in October.Ever so easy for movie goers to relate, each cast member seems to be naturally perfect for their roles protruded and are instantly respected and recognized for their decisions made.The audience is captivated by the wonders of bee keeping, dangers of farm animals, amazement of grass hoppers, and what is going to happen next.The movie ends with a peaceful calm albeit with several questions left for the audience debates during the after-party. We want more from this team!
... View MoreRunoff is a filmmakers film. The pacing is deliberate, expertly building to the unexpected climax which leaves you thinking about it well into the ride home from the theater. You can tell right away that much care was taken to deliver a rich and authentic story. This is not the feel-good movie of the year and if you're looking for 90 minutes of fast-paced action, look elsewhere. But if you want to see a true indie film made by a true indie filmmaker then see Runoff today. I know nobody buys DVD's anymore but if this comes out on disc, I want to own it.Bravo!
... View MoreGorgeously shot with evocative performances from actors Joanne Kelly and Neal Huff. Levin is definitely a director to watch. I was not expecting the climatic final scenes either and shocked as well as moved by the moral questions raised. Kelly's character takes actions that I would not think I'd do but her performance and Levin's strong script make you rethink how much you're willing to compromise for the ones you love as well as how your decisions affect those around you. I would absolutely see it again and recommend to anyone who can to catch this film in theaters as it definitely is made for the big screen! What a remarkable accomplishment! Look forward to seeing more of Levin's work as well as actor, Neal Huff, who'd I'd not heard of before this but gives a stoic and gutting performance.
