After viewing Kegless at the Long Island Film Festival, I came away with a couple of viewpoints. My first was "wow, this was made for $11,000 dollars? (as it was described) and my second was that, although not perfect, it is a great beginning for a young filmmaker and his young cast. The writing at many times is impressive and generation oriented while still staying in touch with the generation, which usually is lost in the corporate scheme of things. Being an independent film, it is easier to do what you want, but the drawbacks result in lack of technology in post-production. This script with a couple-hundred-thousand dollar budget would be an underground surprise in the film industry. The acting, although lacking in a couple areas, was strong in the lead character played by Adam Bjelland and most of the supporting characters, with standout performances by Ross MacIntire and Dave Campbell. Overall, a movie better than half the big-budget drivel shoveled into theaters daily.
