Searching for Wooden Watermelons (2003)
The "Wooden Watermelon" Search... A UNIVERSAL Theme...
I think it's pretty-safe-to-say that ALL of us have found ourselves in a search for our OWN "theme"... our OWN "tune"... our OWN "passion"...
SEARCHING FOR WOODEN WATERMELONS does an EXCELLENT job of putting the
"search" out there for us in VERY REAL (but simple) terms...with CHARACTERS all of us can identify with and relate to...
fyi - I just viewed this movie today at the DEEP ELLUM FILM FEST in Dallas, TX. I had the privilege to meet and chat with the writer, director, and some cast members. I was MOST impressed with how the "group" reflected the "theme" of the movie, and has broken through the "fear barrier" to pursue REAL passions and DREAMS!
As a result - it's EVIDENT that the "film" is a work of passion... a work of "heart"... (I feel these are CORE ingredients missing from some of the "commercial" flicks out there today...)
I would give this show "2 thumbs up"... WAY up!!! The writing, the characters, and the story-line touch your heart-and-soul...then urge you to forget "fear"... and trust your "heart"!!!
I FOR SURE "hope" this film will make it's way out there to a LARGER audience... This "art"... this "theme"... this "wooden watermelon" deserves to be SEEN!
