Derek Sieg, Director

2006 | 97 | Feature

Deeply defined characters and appealing performances from January Jones (Mad Men) and Lukas Haas distinguish filmmaker Derek Sieg's directorial debut, a quiet and unconventional romance set in small-town Virginia. Haas plays Carter, a soft-spoken car mechanic with an obsessive voyeuristic interest in a local concert violinist (Brianne Davis). Ironically, he isn't the only secret admirer in town. Darla (Jones), a shy waitress at a local lunch counter, has been following Carter as well, and soon the two outsiders connect.
