Review of Ballast

Ballast (2008)
10/10
This is what it's all about
15 January 2009
A lot of people sidestep traditional methods when it comes to film-making, and even film releasing these days, but it takes a film with quality to truly buck the system and make it a viable option for future filmmakers.

This is that film.

Slacker did it in '91.

Head Trauma made some serious waves in '99

Four Eyed Monsters took a step in the right direction in '06.

But this is the first truly cinematic American Indie to make a serious case for maintaining creative control.

Worthy of the criterion treatment I'd say (heck, George Washington got one).
