Alise- Thanks for sharing this. I always appreciate the mid-budget movies' unbreakable spirit to remain somewhat indie yet boundary-pushing. It's one thing to be entirely small and have the "underdog" backing of the world. And of course, to be big box-office scale. But being middle of the road sometimes means very much like standing in the middle of a bridge---you're at the most dangerous place where everything can, and often breaks. But every now and then, being in the middle also means you go from being broken to being unbreakable--and you get to actually arrive at the other side of the bridge. For some reason, your writing, and this movie, is a beautiful reminder of this. :)
