"Frank V. Ross’ Hohokam belongs to a small subgenre of films that I’ve seen at festivals over the past few years: Movies That I’d Love To Reccomend … If There Was Any Possible Way For You To See Them. Ray Carney booked Hohokam at his series at the Harvard Film Archive in 2007, and later that summer it screened at the New Talkies event in New York, but it otherwise had a limited life on the festival circuit, and for most of 2008 has gone unseen. But now, thanks to Indiepix, you can download Hohokam or buy the film on DVD. Blatant Self Promotion Alert: I wrote some notes for the release, which you can read on the movie’s Indiepix page. Th "

"Present Company is ostensibly about two young parents in a fading relationship who suffer cohabitation in a parent’s basement for the sake of their toddler, but director Frank Ross tells us what his film is really about in the first scene. The director stars as Buddy, an insensitive, immature twenty-something who is apprenticing in construction. We meet him on the job, where his co-worker has just opened a can of some kind of hazardous chemical. Not wanting to inhale the fumes, Buddy recoils. “I’ve got a long life ahead of me man,” he protests. A few lines later, assessing the work they’ve done, Buddy says, “We kind of glued ourselves into a corner, huh?” “Not me, man–you did it,” his co-worker responds. This is a movie about a boy stuck in a situation that feels interminable, who instead of taking responsibility for having glued himself in a corner, tries to share the blame with everyone around him. Too on-the-nose? Maybe, but it’s forgivable as a kind of thesis statement for a fi ... "

"Surveying the Mumblecore-manic media coverage of the last week or so, three features are in danger of slipping through the cracks. Totally coincidentally, these are the three films of the fest that I’m currently most interested in. At the risk of sounding like a Swanbergian heroine (and more on the Ladies of Mumblecore from me next week), my crushes on individual films and filmmakers come and go in manic waves, and right now, I’m crushing heavily on Team Picture (directed by Kentucker Audley, who appears to be the same person as the film’s star, Andrew Nehringer), and Frank V. Ross’ Hohokam and Quietly on By. These are the least-known films on the schedule for sure, although all three have made appearances at Harvard Film Archive’s Independents Week. Seen as a unit, the three films point in an exciting new direction: towards the suburbs. As "
