Improvisation

Reviewed by KC Ifeanyi (Cannes 2007)

Director: Zach Litwack
Starring: Micah Lane, Jamie Buell, Glenn Fancher
Genre: Comedy
Studio: Light Box Pictures

In-a-nutshell: Ever wonder how some people get stuck in dead end jobs? Zach Litwack's film could shine a little light on the conspiracy. Micah Lane stars as Elliot, a struggling fine-art photographer whose career is going nowhere. All this time, Elliot has been thinking he's been rejected on so many occasions because his photographs were sub par. However, after chasing down a fat man in a bow tie who stole the package of pictures he just dropped off in a mailbox, Elliot discovers he's been under surveillance and that it hasn't been an absence of talent that's held him back, but something much more malicious.

Realistically speaking, Improvisation may be far-fetched but it still provides food for thought. How do people wind up working tedious jobs that they hate? Is it out of circumstance or perhaps due to something bigger?
