"Ballast" playing in New York City

I saw Lance Hammer's "Ballast" in New York this past week. It's a great movie, uplifting in unexpected ways.

From what I've read, it sounds like director Lance Hammer and his D.P. Lol Crawley shot using primarily available light (all the light that was available on the truck?) on Super 35. I didn't see a DI credit on the final credit roll, so I'm assuming it was a traditional optical finish.

Michael Tully reviewed the film and also compared the film to another recent indie "Frozen River." I share his sentiments. His review can be found here: Hammer to Nail "Ballast" Review
