Roundtable

About This Movie

So, 'Roundtable' is an early piece from Mikel Rouse, who’s better known for his music than for directing. The film carries this raw, experimental vibe, typical of student works from that era. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which actually adds to its charm, creating a unique atmosphere that feels both intimate and unpolished. You can almost sense the exploration happening in each frame, with practical effects lending an organic feel to its storytelling. It's got this intriguing blend of sound and narrative that makes it stand out, even if it’s not widely recognized. Definitely worth a watch for those who appreciate the formative stages of a creator's journey.

'Roundtable' has seen limited releases over the years, often sharing space on obscure compilations or as part of academic retrospectives on student cinema. Its scarcity makes it an interesting piece for collectors, given Rouse's later prominence in the music scene. Not much has been documented about its production or distribution, so any print that surfaces tends to pique interest among those keen on early indie films or Rouse's artistic evolution.
