Kegless is the epitome of a low-budget film, mainly because that is exactly what it is. The talent here certainly lies within the script. The plot? Simple and very easily identifiable. It is the "second coming of age" - when one gets out of college and is forced to deal with the real world with all of its possibilities and anxieties. As with most art forms there is a lot of raw emotion stemming from anxiety and depression in this film. The context of these emotions is easily understandable for anyone unsure about their future when college is over. What is worse is his fear of having contracted AIDS. The film in no way ties all of the conflicts into a neat package in the end but rather gives the main character back his hope in the possibilities his future might offer. I read this is Mr. Kestel's very first movie and he brought home an award from the LI Film Festival. That is quite an accomplishment for a first venture into a cut-throat and bitter industry. I encourage him to do more work and to listen to the professional panel and viewer majority who gave him the LIFF award and to disreguard the unconstructive critique of anonymous posters.
