Excellent Indie

Very cool indie film shot gorgeously in the Jungles of Brazil. A surreal, magical film in a magical location. What made it for me were the quality of performances and the direction. Schiffer(director)is a professional and knows his cinema. His authorial directing style is stamped on the film. Transmigration is definitely worth a watch. It starts in the United States and works it way deeper and deeper into the jungle until the lead, Curtis, played to the nines by unknown but extremely talented actor, Andrew Treglia gets caught by a tribe of Amazonian women. But this isn't a hot Brazilian sex film, this is real cinema.
