Creating independent films has never been a simple process and too often, it becomes a harrowing ordeal for its authors. However, in the present day and age, with the ability to shoot and then distribute films through modern technology, it might seem that making small indie films has never been easier either. Streaming services in particular provide a huge range of film content, much of which was made completely independently, but also with somewhat lacking results that the audience often lampoons and ridicules. In that odd and conflicting paradigm, the long-time film director Will Adams decided to create his film, Tube-E Movie. Here is how the film describes itself:
In 'Tube-E Movie", follow the zany journey of a young couple, their wise-be-yond-his-years son, and romantically perplexed couples. This isn't your typical family comedy-actors break character, venting frustrations to the bewildered cast and crew, while the rest stay delightfully in character. This film hilariously pokes fun at Tubi's outrageous content library, diving into wacky romance, perplexing plot twists, and side-splitting satire. "Tube-E Movie'' is a laugh-out-loud experience that celebrates the quirkiest offerings of the streaming universe, perfect for those who appreciate wild and unpredictable humor.
This interesting premise quickly comes to the forefront thanks to Adams' writing and 20-plus years of experience in making indie films. Also, the cast, including Damon Williams, Adele Givens, and Brandall Cole manages to get on the same wavelength as the unusual, but very appealing script. The result is at moments strange and unnerving, but also a very funny outlook on the process of filmmaking by those who might lack the means, but not the drive to make their art. Here's the film's official trailer which shows the quirky weirdness right from the get-go:
