Heartland Film Festival: ‘When Jeff Tried to Save the World’ is a high score for indie filmmaking

By Trevor Sheffield / October 21, 2018

‘When Jeff Tried to Save the World’ is a fascinating character study set  against a backdrop of faded neon and gutter-balls. The cinematography  and set design is humble, yet charming, and the ensemble cast absolutely  knocks it out of the park. Despite being rooted heavily in a nostalgia  (of sorts) for the bowling alley of yesteryear, this film couldn’t be  more relevant for our generation and the one before it. No matter how  many quarters this one eats, Jeff is worth the price to play.

Horror films like 'Halloween' only come once a decade or so

By Emily Reuben / October 20, 2018

David Green’s 2018 Halloween remedies this in the simplest way possible: by pretending everything after the original Halloween movie doesn’t exist, and you know what? I wish that were true, because the 2018 Halloween is the perfect sequel to the original.
