In Your Own Backyard (2014) is a quirky little comedy directed by Amber Crosby that takes a closer look at the tech boom in the Bay Area. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the local neighborhoods and meet the residents who’re navigating these changes. Julie Armstrong, the host, has this engaging presence that really pulls you into their stories. It’s not just a commentary on tech growth, but more about community resilience and grassroots efforts. The practical effects are minimal, which suits the documentary-style aesthetic. There's something refreshing about how it tackles serious themes without getting too heavy-handed. It feels both personal and relevant, kind of like a local’s guide to the shifting landscape.
