Thinking Habits

A taxi-driver and husband pursues his lifelong music career with his late-friend’s niece.

The Story

After the passing of a dear friend, a taxi-driver and chronic optimist, Miles, pursues his lifelong music dreams with a new bandmate, his late-friend’s niece named Lana.

Through their unlikely friendship and shared connection to the power of music, they confront their own internal battles, oblivious to the profound impact they have on each other.

Independent films like these are truly collective projects created by and enjoyed by communities. Every film like this one takes a dedicated community of people eager to see great art get made. Thinking Habits is a labor of love, with everyone in the crew and cast donating their resources, time, expertise.

Even still, we need support from people like you! Financial contributions to the film will be used to help cover costs for equipment, equipment, and lodging. We’d love to have you join this community project and be a part of our team.

Please follow @thinkinghabitsfilm, and check this website later to hear more about our upcoming Kickstarter campaign! There’s a lot of perks for contributors as well!

  • Previous Work: 'Things We Like'

    Everything I see about youth these days makes me grateful to no longer be in it myself - and lord knows if it takes place in Boston, all the more so... [Things We Like] brought all that stuff back for me with great vividness. The whole thing is quite fragile... but the viewer who can get on its frequency will be rewarded. The whole cast is terrific, and the quirky structure is quite engaging. It really works. I quite enjoyed this film.

  • Previous Work: 'Things We Like'

    An incredibly sensitive and promising feature, Things We Like’ shows an ambition to explore messy emotions while refusing to define its characters in any narrow fashion and accepts them, foibles and all. You can sense that the filmmakers and the actors believe there is always something more to discover in even the most minor of supporting characters. This is a really impressive debut.

This story is about perusing a passion out of pure love of craft over any kind of validation. Each of us believe in telling stories, because we love to and like our lead character Miles, we all feel a deep need to do this work.
