Well done! Excellent camera work, great storyline, good acting, well edited, good background music. This reminds me of "Goonies" and "Spy Kids" in terms of the youth exploring things on their own, bringing in the adults when things get too out of control. A few things to give warning about: there is alcohol drinking and a fair amount of rather risky behavior exhibited by the kids. However, I still love it and think kids will also. I recommend it for ages 10 to 18, plus adults and give it 4 out of 5 stars. This feature would make a great addition to a kid & family film festival, especially for tweens and teens.
