Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

TheMarvelousM Double Digits is a documentary made by "The Indie Machines", and it is about a troubled man, Richard, who goes on in life to make artistic films on YouTube. He states that he is happy even if the views are in double digits, as long as they inspire people to make artistic things in their life. This documentary is about being happy for the little things in life, because it also explains the troubles Richard has gone through, lost loved ones, incarceration, and past regrets in his life. But it also has interviews of his relatives and friends, who explain how he is able to find happiness in his life by making "Internet Art Films", as they are called. He does not have the supplies to make the special effects in the films look professional, but the stories he tells are so unique that the viewers don't care and continue watching the films. Richard states that he will continue to make his films so that he can contribute to the lives of others and make them become inspired to do things that many people don't think can be done. This is a touching, sad and happy documentary about a touching, sad and happy man who continues to make his life enjoyable for himself and his friends.

Alan Cory Kaufman You know how at the beginning of an MGM movie Leo the Lion roars and you see that Latin caption "Ars Gratis Artis" (Art for Art's Sake?).  In director Justin Johnson's documentary "Double Digits : The Story of a Neighborhood Movie Star" we meet Richard "R.G" Miller of Wichita, Kansas. Miller, is an extremely DIY indie filmmaker, screenwriter, special effects creator AND star of his own movies who lives to produce his modest features and upload them to YouTube. Miller creates art for art's sake, content as an outsider to make movies on his own terms. These films do not provide his livelihood, but they are very much his life. Justin Johnson and his production team, all with roots as DIY filmmakers, take us into Richard Miller's world as he plies his craft with a modest video camera, no budget, but a wealth of passion.  His set pieces are miniatures, crafted and spray painted in his kitchen/workshop. Props are scavenged, friends and family members called upon as performers. He derives great joy from his work, and his enthusiasm and self-deprecating tone is touching as we watch him prepare and lovingly shoot his movies. Overcoming personal setbacks, Millers perseveres at his craft and maintains modest expectations, considering his work a success if YouTube views of his features exceed 10 ("double digits").  We learn that he's gone through some troubled times and that filmmaking in many respects, has saved him. To watch him work, often in difficult situations (a scene where he is trying to shoot on a windy day comes to mind), is fun and frustrating, but inspiring. Miller's wisdom in all of this is making the best of a situation and then moving on to the next challenge. This all grounds him and provides a Zen-like quality to his life.When an opportunity to showcase one of his films unexpectedly arises, we share Miller's apprehension and hope for his triumph. Johnson and crew capture these moments without being intrusive and it's what makes the documentary work.In a world of $250 million movie budgets, $20 million actor salaries, and multi-billion dollar box office receipts, Richard Miller is a true original. And as "Double Digits: The Story of a Neighborhood Movie Star" proves, you can't put a dollar amount on art. To quote the MGM Lion: "ROAR!".

Clinton Jones Double Digits sucked me in right from the start. I was blown away by R.G. Miller and his dedication to his craft. The documentary stuck with me for days. I still think about R.G. and his successes and struggles. Totally understandable and extremely inspiring. Very well done. I don't usually cry during movies but this one hit my pretty hard. It was definitely a mix of emotions though. You really feel for R.G. and learn a lot through him. His creative drive is off the charts. I don't know how he does it. The pacing and the edit were great and the music was on point. You're with R.G. all the way though the end. I was glued from the start. I highly recommend this documentary to all the creators out there. R.G. Miller is a child at heart, and I think we have a lot to learn from this man.

Greg Titian Double Digits gives us close-up look at the life and work of Richard 'R.G' Miller (a truly independent filmmaker whose preference for a lo-fi, handmade aesthetic sets him apart) and leaves the viewer with the overwhelming sense that life is full of possibility and the fire to chase our own dreams. Miller is a delightful subject to observe, his joy at practicing his craft his utterly infectious. The filmmakers manage a careful and practiced balancing act of examining the life of an artist who defies conventions without making a spectacle of their subject, and the result is stupendous. Double Digits accomplishes the rare feat of looking closely at a life, fraught with success and failure and tragedy and comedy and joy and sadness and all that goes with it, and comes away with a clearer understanding of the human condition. This film is art that nourishes the soul.
