From the first frame to the end of the credits, this film did not give any indication that it had been made as an independent film. The cinematography, direction, and acting were superb. Parts of it were a little hard to watch simply because they felt so real and lets face it, there are elements of history that are painful to admit. All the actors were incredible. RJ Cyler and Gerran Howell were exceptional in their roles. It will be very interesting to watch their careers grow after this film. Ewen Bremner was horrible--in the best sense...he really sank into that role and played it well. Carol Sutton embodied the quintessential Caddy of that day. The casting could not have been better.
Brett Smith's direction and Chris Koser's cinematography were also outstanding. The soundtrack was extraordinary as well. The "Choir" (McIntosh County Shouters) did a beautiful job, as did Freddie Palmer (who led the songs and sang solos).
This is a great example of an independent film that clearly deserves a larger platform.
