Sheila (Marin Ireland) is the lead character of Light from Light, an employee at a car rental company and also a paranormal investigator. Well, sort of, she isn't working for any paranormal research groups right now, she's merely working her day job and looking after her High School Senior son, Owen (Josh Wiggins). But grieving Richard (Jim Gaffigan), who lost his wife in a plane crash a few months prior, recruits her help to determine if the ghost of his wife is lingering around their house. It's an unorthodox job Sheila takes on without accepting any sort of financial payment just as Owen begins to struggle with his plans for the future, including his potential attraction to his friend Lucy (Atheena Frizzell).

The 1990s were the
decade that redefined the American cinema scene through homegrown indie
productions directed by the likes of Robert Rodriguez, Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino that provided an overhaul to the very concept of American indie movies. Suddenly, these rags-to-riches stories made it seem possible for anyone to make a movie. It’s fitting then that the decade would end with a documentary
exploring how, even in this blossoming age of homegrown cinema, it’s still
immensely difficult to make a movie. This documentary was American Movie, a Chris Smith directorial effort that celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and was screened in 35mm at the Oak Cliff Film Festival yesterday.
