Local Indie production filmed in Seattle over many months with enormous contributions of labor and material from underpaid (or unpaid) locals. Misconceived from beginning (main character's interior monologue, primarily heartsickness over his girlfriend's 5 day camping trip with another man, is in Senegalese with English subtitles). Huh?
The original film script was much more complex with a murder mystery motif. This film resulted from severe editing, for which viewer should probably be grateful. Some intended humor. Sound is spotty throughout. Minor continuity issues.
Second half of film is better and hits a pleasant groove where humor and heart are visible.
Overall, somewhere between bad and not embarrassing. Not recommended unless you long for Seattle scenery (plenty, lovely) and/or are related to cast or crew. This may cover half of Seattle's Indie film community.
Let us hope this director does not make another movie.
