  • The budget constraints on these Indie movies can often make the team behind them get incredibly creative in their filmmaking. While I think that has been beneficial and exciting in a lot of movies, it must be terribly restrictive to directors and the other creatives who have to jump through so many hoops to get films made. I think ultimately, it just means that costs will get cut in places that no one wants to see. That is a shame. I wish there was room for more mid budget movies to let these great directors have more room to breathe financially. That way the crew and cast are not limited and getting paid the bare minimum.


  • My favorite easy fiction that helps me unwind is Agatha Christie mysteries. There is a reason she is the greatest mystery ŵritwr of all time. She sets up compelling situations and makes her way to a damn satisfying conclusion by the end.

    A few of her shorter but still excellent stories: The Secret Adversary N or M The Unexpected Guest 3 Blind Mice Halloween Party Murder of Roger Akcroyd

    Also if you like Mysteries I have to plug my all time favorite: 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

    It is a great mystery in which the protagonist wakes up with no memories and has 8 chances to solve a murder.
