With big help from a little town, Asheville Indie filmmakers and local Blue Ridge Mtn cinematagraphers have awarded themselves and an upcoming audience with a little, big film. In rhythm to a comic book prequel to follow, Director David Kapler was wanting nothing more than to express the local Indie art of Asheville in an inspirational full length film, and it's safe to say he along with a collectively artistic, closenit community accompished this. Co-writer and First Assistant Director, Mitch Rumfelt plays a railroad hobo direlict with an empty, dreary routine that consists of dumpster diving, tagging abandon buildings and loner, sociopath stalking. Rumfelt didn't waste a minute of the Cinevete Brevis w/ 35mm lens adapter that it was shot with from a HD Cannon along with other various cameras and damaged lenses in depicting the grim, murky life a gutter punk toils in. Cursed by a ritualistic blade carried by the his late father, the crust punk called 'Drifter' comes face to face with an inner demon on a shamanic, sexual self-mutilating journey that finds the film's untimely ending. With a cast already accustomed to the gutter punks way of living, a dialogue was easy to do without for these debut actors and actress. The real horror lies within the shocking reality of lost runaways hiding out in freight carts, interstate by-passes and dilipated houses without electricity called sqaut houses; drinking thier livers into the epitome of disease while moshing in a drunken stupor on slopped, un-mopped caked floors practicing self-mutilation and defying morals of masturbation. The only thing missing out of this kats life was a 3-day Crust Punk, Basement Fest in Detroit where chicks who come out with shaved heads might as well say they survived Murderfest or a boxcarpool with the *FTRA.
Due to the late, midnight premier screening I was easily distracted in the beginning by the Famous Monsters of Filmland surrounding festivities, however, I made up for my early absence when presented the opportunity to meet and greet with the director and leading man after the ending credits. They clarified the film was on minamal budget, and yet the big picture they were after was more of a visual. In conclusion the film made apparent that our survival depends solely upon how and if we overcome our weaknesses and illnesses. From the Native American drumbeats to the Asheville Indie Garage Rockers the Soundtrack is chock full of, this film eats, breaths and bleeds Asheville, which I have the utmost respect for everytime I risk my life driving through Cherokee National Forest. As gray as the film producers chose to keep the grain, Asheville from other high altitudes is breath-taking, and as colorful as the graffiti laid on in it's desolate switching yards. Regardless, it all depends on the paths or graves we all chose to pave. The Director acheived paving the path to a grave, new, innovative Horror film using a tight, talented investors notebook and budget, with a splotch of blood-splatter from lens to lens to reveal the horror of drugs and poverty writhing within the path chosen by drifters, criminals, more commonly known as, deadmen.

*Speaking of freights and similair traits, in the 1980's a group of railroad riders called the FTRA (Freight Train Riders of America) orgainized an underground assembly in conjunction with the freight train lines that run from Minneapolis to Seattle. Despite the unsubstantial hype and urban legends of thier organization, the FTRA are rumored to be hardened criminals whose lives 9x out of 10 doesn't end in any picnic.
