I saw the film at the DTLA Film Festival. I've seen Michael and Devin's other film Twenty Million People and I follow both the films on fb etc. I'm a filmmaker myself who just shot a feature so I have a vested interest in other indie filmmakers like the makers of Laura Gets a Cat.
I was blown away by the script and the acting. Dana the lead is so fluid you never question her or her performance. Michael her love interest was also excellent. Acting is never an issue. I love Michaels style of writing. He breaks those norms that we are accustomed to and he doesn't give us the easy answer at the end.
The film looks like a much bigger movie. For a no-budget feature they did a great job. Lighting was great, the shots were framed well and sound was good.
What really excelled was Michaels use of montage and a particular sequence in the middle of the film. It was exciting because he was taking big chances and it def went far beyond his budget.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who is tired of big movies and enjoys being a part of grassroots filmmaking. These are just people expressing themselves, just like all of us.
