The Things We've Seen

The background is far more compelling than the forefront in The Things We've Seen.

Tre Manchester's The Things We've Seen, mixes elements of thriller, noir and melodrama, which is pretty ambitious for a film with obvious budget constraints.

Clammy and claustrophobic, The Things We've Seen can build an effective mood as its characters struggle with problems. Even with a small budget, determined filmmakers can accomplish something worthwhile.

"The Things We've Seen," which had to have been made on a budget less than the craft services line item on an average Hollywood film, is an undeniable celebration of the independent spirit.
