The New trends in Indie Movies

Among Indie films there is quite a range these days. They include those with big themes as in 1917, to the more intimate, award winning Robocall.  While not a Golden Globes candidate, Robocall tells the very private story of G.T. Benz, a Vietnam vet and widower fighting to keep his life and dignity in the information age. Although lacking the glamour of films like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, or Rocketman, Robocall takes you to a place of war where scam artists, internet crooks, and malign door-bangers amplify the normal stress of loneliness and aging.  Then comes “Ginger,” a woman from G.T.’s past to supercharge the aggravation that drives him to an act of desperation. Give Robocall a look. You might be surprised.

Robocalls and Sickness

Overwhelmed by robocalls? AARP, and other organizations have endorsed legislation to stop robocalls, but congress has yet to act. People, especially the ill and elderly, are being victimized by unwanted calls, many of which are outright scams. What does it take to stop the madness? Will congress act, or are we simply to smile and take it like good little suckers?

Robocall follows a few days in the life of G.T. Benz, a veteran and widower, yearning to see before he dies his long-absent daughter, “Trish.” Doing his best to live out his remaining days in “peace and dignity,” he fights a daily battle with internet crooks, and malign door-bangers, all ramping up the normal stress of loneliness and aging. Give it a look. You might just feel better for it.
