Makeshift Clarity

Movie reviews, analysis and news with host David Ottestad.

Movies bring together people of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs, and ethnicities. They can inspire us to pursue our future goals, enable us to confront our past, remind us to be more aware of the present, or simply entertain us enough to escape for a few hours.

My name is David Ottestad and I was the kid at age 10 yelling at his friends from behind a camera to “take it from the top and do it better”. I love movies. I love midnight showings (RIP). My friends tell me I have too high of standards, but I have great respect and admiration for filmmakers. I know it’s a complicated process. Even movies I consider bad impress me because they still got finished. That said, I do have high standards and I want them met. Either way, I have a lot to say every time I leave a movie theater and I can't wait to share those thoughts here with you and hear (read) yours as well. 

Grateful you're here watching. Let's talk movies.
