APART FROM THAT

I've been waiting to see this homegrown Northwest film for a long time and now it is finally playing at the Living Room Theatre here in Portland. Yippyyyy!

"The everyday mysteries of ordinary folk in a rural Washington State town form the substance of "Apart From That," an original and resonant feature debut by co-directors-writers-editors Randy Walker and Jennifer Shainin. The American theme of lives lived in quiet desperation is sensitively applied through each of the film's elegantly woven strands, all reaching a satisfying end without feeling neatly resolved. Euro and Asian fest dates should follow, but the real test will be if a Stateside distrib shows courage enough to handle this outstanding if demanding work."
