Take Out nominated for Independent Spirit award

I saw Take Out several years ago at SFIAAFF, and it just took a while to get out to theaters. The movie's still working its way around various cities, but things may start moving faster now. It's earned a well-deserved nomination for an Independent Spirit award.

Specifically, Take Out will be competing Feb. 21 for the John Cassavetes Award for the best feature made for less than $500,000. It's a scrappy film that looks at the underside of Chinese food delivery, with drama, heartbreak, suspense, and a little bit of humor. Now, the star happens to be a friend of mine -- and knowing him, I know how much work he had to put into the role -- but I was genuinely impressed by this movie. If it comes to a city near you soon, check it out.
