Still the Drums (2009)
The films that I like the most are the visions of Creative Mavericks – not niggling committees.
There are moments of raw emotion in 'STILL THE DRUMS' – that rival anything to be found in the standard, heartless, soulless, gutless – (often meaningless) – $100 Million+++, Star Studded, Special FX Pabulum Extravaganzas – of Corporate Hollywood 'PRODUCT' – that slither through the projectors at the local Cineplex.
In a world where every major Blockbuster-Manufacturing Studio has a division that they absurdly call – 'Independent' – TALBOT PERRY SIMONS IS A TRUE INDEPENDENT. And for that alone he deserves the support of everyone who believes in the sanctity of the Creative Vision – as expressed through the blood, sweat, and tears projected up there on the Big Screen – by the Independent Filmmaker.
At a time when there is no end in sight for our longest running war – when the only people making sacrifices are the combatants themselves and their families – it's important to remember that the National Discourse is controlled by those who frame the conversation.
