CGiii Comment

Written and directed by a 21 year-old - and this fact should put 90% of all auteurs to shame - no correction: complete and utter shame.

Eberl manages to build and sustain a very awkward tension that drives the film forward - he also manages to get sublime performances out of his actors - again, this should put many a director to shame because that is also an integral part of the job description.

A fine, accomplished piece of work.

Definitely a director to watch, a fine talent that will only get better with age.

The(ir) Blurb...

Idealistic 15-year old Owen gets the chance of a lifetime to be the youth spokesman for U.S. Senate Candidate Lawrence Connor, only to be exploited in a fierce campaign of TV and radio ads, posters, interviews, and speaking engagements in the cut throat media-image-is-all world of American politics.
