I went to my first festival, since I wasn't living near any before, and just wasn't familiar with the indie scene as much before. A lot of the indie movies were good, to not bad, but a lot of them felt like there just really could have been more. More characters, more plot twists, more surprises. Some of them seem a little more routine, but have the potential to ramify. Some of them feel like even though the movies were 90 or more minutes, they really only had a plot that should fill about 45 ideally.
I'm guessing maybe this is because of low budget, maybe they didn't finish and had to go with back climaxes and maybe make them fit. Is this often true, do you think?
