When I met the filmmakers at the opening party of FAIF/Indiefest, they told me that Yellow Lights was a "relationship movie." I thought that odd as they looked very young and I always expect wacky shenanigans from "young'uns." So with my wife I went to their screening and was treated to a thoroughly entertaining movie that started slow and built up momentum as the story progressed.
The filmmakers did EVERYTHING themselves except play ALL of the main roles (They had some bit parts) and they used borrowed equipment. I think they put together a brilliant and compelling relationship movie. I don't like to summarize but I really have to say that the screenplay was well balanced with some wonderful character arcs. Think Zach Braff and Garden State in New England with no budget.
This is not a "chick flick" though. It has enough for the guys to have some fun and that's always good to know when your girlfriend or wife wants to see something without bullets flying.
These guys just decided to make a movie and they did it with great success and I believe it was their first attempt at anything. Keep an eye out for these two. Yellow Lights is brilliant and I am sure their future efforts will be more of the same... and by the way, there were some "wacky shenanigans." Is that your banana? ;)
