SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!
"The Dust Factory", a movie written and directed by Eric Small, is a text book example of why most independent films remain independent: they are poor movies. The whole plot of this story is lacking. Two kids (Ryan Kelley & Hayden Panettiere) get trapped in some type of purgatory. However, this paradise hell, as you could call it, happens in the middle of their life!? Even the acting can't save this movie. Hayden Panettiere, the girl who braved it in the classic movie, "Remember the Titans", and the cute, "Raising Helen", is just seen dancing by herself unstop of a lake for half of the entire movie. Ryan Kelley, though brilliant in his own scenes, has no chemistry whatsoever with Ms. Panettiere. Then comes the grandpa of the male role: he is suppose the wise figure of the movie but all he does is walk into closets. However, the worst character in the book, is the villain: the evil circus guy who owns the Dust Factory. He is purely laughable! What are the good things in the movie? Nice scenery, great cinematography & the fact I only had to see this movie only once!
