This breathtaking new film from director Jeff Celantio needs to be on everyone's "must watch" list. You will remember Mr. Celantivo from his previous work such as Moscow Mule and Under The Half Moon. Well, he has drawn upon all his experience and worked from a script adapted by Elizabeth Flower and B. A. Madrid to deliver his greatest accomplishment yet: BLACKWATER LANE. It tells the story of a graceful, refined woman named Cass who wants nothing more than to finish her criminal justice degree--just as soon as she finishes overseeing renovations to the beautiful home she shares with her husband, Matthew. There are many conflicts woven throughout this narrative, some of which stem from the relationship she had with her recently deceased mother. Luckily, she has her close friend, Rachel to help her with lesson planning and classroom management.
One of the greatest strengths of this story is the sense of realism that pours out of every frame. Thanks to the contributions of crew members like Ana Izquierdo, this is a movie you will remember the rest of your life. And it is one that Academy members are sure to remember next awards season when they will no doubt recognize Ana Izquierdo for the incredible effort she put into this timeless treasure. Do NOT miss BLACKWATER LANE; your friends will be wanting it to discuss for weeks afterwards!!!
