So, 'Something Very Big' is this curious little film from '98 that captures that early, naive vibe of sexual awakening. It follows Dean O'Connor, a young guy from Wisconsin, as he embarks on this adventure to L.A. and winds up at Venice Beach. The atmosphere is breezy, a bit nostalgic, and you really get a sense of that transitional moment between adolescence and adulthood. The performances are from a mostly unknown cast, which adds a layer of authenticity, and you can tell they're just figuring it out, which is refreshing in a way. It's not a polished gem, but it has a rawness about it that's worth noting.
This film appears to have had a limited release, making it somewhat elusive in the collector's market. While not widely discussed, those who appreciate the era's charm and indie undertones may find it intriguing. Its scarcity and the blend of first-time performances add to its unique profile within niche collections.
