(2013) dir Matt Porterfield w/Deragh Campbell, Hannah Gross, Ned Oldham, Kim Taylor, Nicholas Patr, Geoff Grace [90 min] Director Matt Porterfield's (Putty Hill) latest film is a sensitive and naturalistic portrait of a family unraveling. When Taryn (Campbell), a teenaged Northern Irish runaway, seeks refuge with her aunt and uncle in Baltimore she finds that they have problems of their own. Kim (Taylor) and Bill (Oldham) are trying to handle the end of their marriage gracefully for the sake of their daughter Abby (Gross), just home from her first year of college. I USED TO BE DARKER is gorgeously shot by cinematographer Jeremy Saulnier and features musical performances from singer-songwriter Kim Taylor and Palace Brothers member Ned Oldham. It is a story of people finding each other and letting each other go; looking for love where they've found it before and, when that doesn't work, figuring out where they might find it next.
