Children of Invention

One of Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film," writer-director Tze Chun makes "a fine feature debut" (Manohla Dargis, New York Times) with one of the most-awarded and best-reviewed films of the year. CHILDREN OF INVENTION is by turns humorous and heartbreaking, an "urgent, artful...austerely poetic" (Variety) "edge-of-your-seat family drama" (Spout) that's both "powerfully moving and rigorously intelligent."(Boston Phoenix).

SYNOPSIS: Two young children living outside Boston come up with a plan to take care of themselves when their mother gets embroiled in a pyramid scheme and disappears.

Hi guys, rent this film for a chance to see it before it comes out in theaters. The majority of the rental price goes directly to the filmmakers. It's a new way for independent filmmakers to connect with their audiences. If you'd rather watch the film on the big screen or on DVD, go to the official website for screening times or purchase the film. We are doing our theatrical screenings in New York City, Los Angeles, and Boston in February and March. Thanks for the support!

I bet this movie is good, oh well, guess I'll never know because this renting thing is ridiculous.

wow its funny how i can rate it without viewing it

Cindy Cheung was amazing in this movie! She is such an versatile American actor. She was really great in Lady in the Water. The kids were sooo cute!

I would definitely rent/watch this again.

Awesome film. Worth the rental price. Less than you would pay to see it in the theater and you get to watch it from the comfort of your own home!

An excellent independent film. I didn't get to see it last year during Sundance. I was so moved by the portrayal of the boy. It stays with you for a couple of days until you get depth of his journey.

Would you all please fucking think? All this is is something being ADDED to YouTube. No functionality is being taken from you. STOP AND THINK.
