Shooting at the Moon

More specifically, "Outlaw" Film-making (I use the term "outlaw" here rather than "underground," because I feel the latter carries with it a certain archaic connotation... no disrespect to artists who prefer that terminology) The reason why Outlaw Film-making has yet to see any real insurgence as of late is not because of lack of funding or memorable work... The problem is that too many filmmakers outside the Hollywood system are trying to get in... they use their films as ways of creating stories comparable to those produced by the film industry. What they forget is that it is in fact an INDUSTRY... thus making its output mechanical and without feeling (save the exception of a few anomalies here and there). Now on to "Shooting the Moon"... man oh man... I could probably write 10 pages on the eight minutes on screen... but I'll spare you. This is a damn fine example of Outlaw film-making. I live in LA... Hollywood to be exact... and this little film from Connecticut blew me away. What
