Monos - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review
The Movie: Monos
The Director: Alejandro Landes
The Cast: Julianne Nicholson, Moises Arias, Sofia Buenaventura, Deiby Rueda, Karen Quintero
The Story: On a faraway mountaintop, eight kids with guns watch over a hostage and a conscripted milk cow.
The Review:
Director and co-writer Alejandro Landes takes a group of teenage guerrilla soldiers and shoves them through an intensely brutal trip through the jungles of South America. The dark nature of the story is offset and balanced out by the stunningly beautiful cinematography which combined makes for an at times difficult yet ultimately rewarding experience.
Monos is an official selection of the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.

Sword of Trust - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review
The Movie: Sword of Trust
The Director: Lynn Shelton
The Cast: Marc Maron, Jon Bass, Michaela Watkins, Jillian Bell, Toby Huss, Dan Bakkedahl, Lynn Shelton
The Review:
Director and co-writer Lynn Shelton proves once again that she is an expert film maker and multi talented artist who isn't afraid to poke fun at just about any topic she can find. This is one of those movies that sort of sneaks up on you with how genuinely funny it is which I believe is in large part due to the brilliant work turned in by the entire cast, including Shelton herself.
Sword of Trust is the official Opening Night Gala selection of the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.
