It seems as each year passes, more and more flicks come from places outside Hollywood and big wallets, and start to come from the hand of independent filmmakers. Leave No Trace is an independent film to keep your eye on!
Directed by academy nominee Debra Granik, Leave No Trace follows a veteran and his daughter living in a lush Portland, Oregon forest. The two are ripped from their comfort and forced to live in a society that’s unfamiliar.
“A refreshing look at humanity in general, “Leave No Trace” is a universal, unforgettable experience.” – Rotten Tomatoes Critic
