2012's Best Indie Film

This is one of 2012's best indie releases! Writer and director David Higgins' debut performance about three WWII veterans returning home and struggling with reintegration in rural Nebraska is astonishing. This film displays a thorough character and plot development, a highly accurate portrayal of the 1950's time period, as well as excellent acting by Beau Kiger, Michael Haksins, and Leah Lockhart. Additionally, Colorado band Snake Rattle Rattle Snake helps helps tie it all together, fitting perfectly to the mood of the movie.

I can't wait to watch Aviation Cocktail again, and I am particularly excited to see what David Higgins does next!
