Still life movie7/14/2023 ![]() ![]() (The award-winning Nate Stark) managed to make me wonder if what I was seeing wasn't 35mm film. It was shot on Digital Video, but the D.P. Her style, charm, and class created a tragic sense of hope in everyone around her, yet her character, Karma, was incapable of ending a bad relationship which threatened her life and sanity.Īpart from the plot, which is completely engrossing, the cinematography was done so well, that at times I would wonder what they actually shot the movie on. Natalie Roers is an incredible and lovely woman who pulls off an amazing performance in Still Life. David is a living, breathing individual who's change through the film is astounding, yet the audience can't help but laugh at his sarcastic one-liners which, at times, steals the movie. Sinsz's portrayal of David is brilliant, funny, and tragic. Many people, including myself, feel that Mr. Someday this kid is going to go far in the world of screen acting.Īnother brilliant performance came from Jamie Sinsz playing the role of David Stiles. Zak Jeffries (as Danny Potter) showed such deep inner turmoil and angst that he nearly broke my heart, and yet he never let his acting become too melodramatic. The characters in this story were amazingly real and complex - a nice change of pace from the cardboard cutouts that come from Hollywood. This film set a new benchmark for independent film that will be hard to surpass. From the opening shot of the ensemble cast (Zak Jeffries, Jamie Sinsz, Natalie Roers, and Michael Caloia) to the closing shot of a broken down car on a highway in the middle of nowhere, I was captivated. When I first saw Still Life at Flickapalooza, I was completely floored. ![]()
