The course of true love is never easy. When an imposing, Mad-Max-like, fire-breathing automobile intervenes, it can get downright complicated. Evan Glodell's Bellflower is the tale of two Southern Californians -- Woodrow (Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson) -- who fill their free time with speculations of the post-apocalyptic future and preparations for same that include the construction of Matilda, a bad-ass, black automobile that would make the Road Warrior drool. But when Woodrow begins hanging out with Milly (Jessie Wiseman), a woman with similar, dark impulses, the ecology of the two friends and their circle of acquaintances is about to undergo a serious upheaval.

Glodell packs the film with a wired, spontaneous energy, and doubles-down on the rough, hand-tooled feel by having a hand in the building of the film's flame-throwers and cars, as well as the home-made lens system used to shoot the footage. Good to know that, come the Fall, canny filmmakers will still be able to survive.
