I hope the movie is as good as the trailer seems to indicate. Surely there's no way this would slip through with out being picked up for distribution.

I saw the movie Ink at the festival in Santa Barbara last night and I was blown away. It was a conceptual masterpiece! Jamin Wynans is the next David Lynch, Terry Gilliam, Guillermo del Toro, and Tim Burton all rolled into one. His use of lighting, precision camera work, and flawless editing will be considered a masterpiece for years to come. His original story and original music are over the top. His choice of actors and the cast he put together on such a low budget is nothing short of genius. I have Never seen a film that has No holes in the actor line up; this is the first! All the actors were brilliant, from little Quinn Hunchar, the young future starlet, the masterful Chris Kelly as the lead, the comedy of Jeromy Make and the beauty and perfection of Jessica Duffy, and all the rest made for the best cast I have ever seen put together in a film.

This film is absolutely incredible. Pitch perfect, 5 stars. The cast and crew are wonderfully humble and kind, in addition to being amazingly talented. Music/sound, lighting, writing, editing, directing, and cinematography...all brilliant. Jamin and his wife (also his producer) made most of the movie themselves; after around 80 days of shooting, they edited it in their basement. There's still two more SBIFF screenings left - come to Santa Barbara and SEE THIS FILM.

The above comments must be self promoting...

Watching this film makes one cringe at the time and effort that went into this misled nightmare. The film takes itself so seriously, trying to pack an emotional response into every second of the film, while the audience can't help but scoff at the ridiculousity of the plot, direction, and especially the characters. If I was the character designer and especially the make up artist, I would seriously consider a second job, being so easily led to absurdity by an uninspired director. The plot is a regurgitation of the classic "save the princess" arcetype. The story revolves around people who have died, become ghosts, and are doomed to an existence of traveling around America(?) every night to touch people on the forehead and give them (the most stereotypical) dreams. Are they on call for when people take naps? Do they have to come back multiple times a night? The film doesn't explain this. It's irrelevant I presume but for something so absurd, I can't help but ask questions. There are also incubi who come and give people nightmares. Why? No answer. Do the dream and nightmare people cross paths every night on their way to work? I don't know. As it turns out some evil character comes to steal a girl to sacrifice her in a bathtub... to become an incubi? Didn't get an answer for this either... This event is so monumental that a war breaks out, leaving the dream people and incubi battling to save this one girl from people who carry sticks with human hands on the end of them and have hilarious glowing face masks. Not to spoil it for anyone who won't heed my words, but at the end you find out that one of the characters sacrifices herself and explains the truth to the main character. If this character had simply told the truth in the beginning, then the whole ordeal could have been avoided. But I guess the movie wouldn't exist then either because it's apparent the writer doesn't have enough creativity to stray from the tried and true movie formulas.

Don't bother with this film unless you enjoy the feeling of being embarrassed for others. On the other hand, you will be laughing throughout a movie that is so unnecessarily serious and intensely emotional that you might actually enjoy yourself.
