Sparks
Guided by Godard, styled like Araki, yet uniquely its own, Sparks is a wonderfully eccentric first feature about a bohemian group of misfits looking to escape the teenage wasteland of their small town. In their free time, the crew watch Jean-Luc Godard films in an abandoned drive-in they squat at and take monthly treks to a local reservoir, which they believe holds a time-traveling portal. After a new member named Cleo takes the urban myth to heart, she finds that running back to the past might not help her avoid her future.
This critic hopes Sparks is seen by every teenager who needs it. Fergus Campbell has made something very special; I can’t wait to see what he does next.
– Jourdain Searles, The Hollywood Reporter
It’s the kind of indie sci-fi story that [the] lo-fi approach is made for, and it’s destined to be a hidden gem discovered by budding cinephiles.
