Running Under the Sun (2015)
Riveting story, only writer-director Addison Sandoval could pull off.
Running Under the Sun is everything I expected and wanted it to be. The story has a raw, documentary feel to it, but is guided by a poise in the director's approach to storytelling. The brilliance of this film is that it always remains true to the events that occur in real life... Sandoval doesn't include unnecessary fluff. Instead, he approaches the original story with gravitas and calculation... presenting a story to the audience and leaving us alone, to be surrounded only by natural events, to naturally take from the world what we will. For these reasons, I highly recommend this film. I consider Dir. Sandoval a rarified talent, an auteur whose work deserves a place in film critical theory. There is just so much in each of his films that can be analyzed and is yet to be explored.

Writer/Director Addison Sandoval's Vision Comes to Life!
Writer/Director Addison Sandoval really goes all out in this film. This film really exemplifies his profound vision. The story is very, very evocative and its really difficult not to get emotional when you're watching it. There is also a very interesting culture factor that adds a novel twist to the story. This film is really unlike any I have ever watched before in a good way. The film makes references to various societal ills and addresses real world problems without shying away from the true realities that many people actually face. Things aren't sugarcoated in this film and that's one of the things I love about director Addison Sandoval's filmmaking. When it comes to his vision, Addison's is unparalleled.
