Viewing Notes

First of two feature films at CIG today. ROOTWOOD capped off the afternoon block of short films. It’s a mix found footage and regular filming about a podcast crew going into the mountains to investigate the Wood Devil. It’s okay but has too many “why would someone do that in that situation” dumb things. I like Felissa Rose in this.
