My Take
I have a soft spot for Kyle Newman precisely because he is not a blockbuster machine. A Tisch-trained filmmaker who directs, writes, edits and acts, he made Fanboys, a love letter to Star Wars devotees that wore its fandom proudly. Films like Barely Lethal and 1Up show a willingness to roam across tones rather than chase one formula. What I value is the earnestness of a maker who builds the things he genuinely loves, and I find that stubborn sincerity worth rooting for in an industry that rewards safe bets.
