I thought I did pretty well for an Indie Film and Cult Film Buff! I got 17 correct! Woo :)
My personal shoutouts: I love that you had Old Boy, Little Miss Sunshine, Donny Darko, Let The Right One In (my favorite), and Wes Anderson Films. Other than that you mentioned a lot of other films I recognized. Even though I haven’t watched some of them, I watch a lot of youtubers talk about film cinematography, and film analysis of the films and I research a lot about these films to learn more about the director, actors, and the film in general.
Thank you for the good article, It reminds me how much time I put into learning about cinematography and watching films! Film is a huge part of my life!
May 20, 2018I would love to write about indie films…
