Somewhere In Indiana Reviews
What people are saying about Somewhere In Indiana
| B-Independent - I'm glad for people like Don Boner. I'm glad he's making pictures without the burden of formula. Boner and movies like Somewhere In Indiana are what give ultra-independent cinema credibility. As the movie played, I found myself thinking that movies such as SII are destined to be the next important wave in independent cinema. Some stories should be told, and the right people need to tell them. |

"It is a little bit of a mystery, a little bit of an adventure and a lot of a psychological journey . I was struck by how tightly paced the film is.. I was drawn in… as though you get into the van with the characters. "

| ".. This film tells the story of four very different people seeking truth and themselves in the town of Fairview, Ind., hometown of ...Eddie Ray. It's a strange mixture of chunkiness and inspiration; when it works it's right on ... Acting standouts are stalwart Jason Kistler, Janet Vuong's calm reserve and Reg Land, who exhibits a strange magnetism as Roy." |

"There is diversity in the characters and a variety of obstacles each person overcomes throughout their journey that shows the hard work that was put into both the script and the acting. . . For an independent, 87-minute movie, there are enough twists and turns in the plot to stay entertained. .. Don proves that even the most complex of ideas for a movie can come to life with a little determination and a lot of devotion. The finished product as a whole is done well and deserves recognition." |

... the scenes that were done on film stock were amazing in every aspect. Definitely everyone involved on those scenes brought their "A" game on those days and shined impressively. Reg Land was very charismatic as Roy with an addictive smile and Kistler's performance was solid as a leader of friends on their journey to Fairview, IN. ... BJ Whetstine really stood out for me as a young man struggling with his sexual identity and coming to terms with himself.
