Since I went to see the independent film “Leaving Barstow” at the Newport Beach Film Festival last month, I’ve been rooting for the filmmakers to find distribution for it. I’d like it to hit the theaters so the people of Barstow can make their own call about how the film portrays our town.
It looks like the film may have gotten a boost from the people who came to see its premiere last month. Audiences voted it “Best Feature Film” at the Newport Beach Film Festival. Now, it’s on to the Breckenridge Film Festival in Colorado, where it has already gotten at least one favorable review.
