Forever Into Space

Running time: 110 mins

The (you have to) do it yourself generation. Four recession-era hopefuls spend their days waiting for something to give while resisting giving out anymore of themselves. Promised a life after higher education with a job and a nice apartment, a writer/blogger finds herself rooming with an amateur porn actress and no future prospects. Through her roommate, she meets two other millennial dreamers; one who hopes to become an artist and another who is more or less content with being a "lab rat." With stark black-and-white cinematography contrasting the equally true-to-life, yet optimistic tone, this coming-of-age story shows what life is like for those searching for a place and a purpose in today's world. - Nina Zheng
