a review from imdb:
A flawless example of what an independent film is all about, 19 November 2000
10/10

Nowadays it seems indie festivals are the chic thing and filmmakers are trying too hard to get the status that winners of those “prestige” events get. If they would only look back to 1985 to a film like Static, they could learn a thing or two.

This film paces itself, and while never snappy, it uses its time wisely. While a melancholy mood prevales, we still are affected in many ways by the different characters we are introduced to.Read More »

Bruce Campbell stars as Carl, a man who launches a full-scale heist to steal mob money from the prison that just released him. With the help of an old friend, a driver and a safe-cracker, Carl’s attempt to carry out the heist is fraught with incompetence and bad luck. As the clock ticks and the circumstances turn tragic, Carl is forced to make the most important decision of his life. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rope” and filmed over twenty years before Sam Mendes’ “1917”, writer/director Josh Becker designed “Running Time” to play out using the “one continuous shot” technique with no computer-assisted trickery. Expertly photographed and edited on film to take place over 60 minutes of real-time, this gritty crime drama was shot entirely on location in the streets of Los Angeles.Read More »
