![The Scenesters [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kZPV0UZbL.jpg)
A handful of would-be hipsters ends up falling on both sides of the law in this independent comedy from filmmaker Todd Berger. Someone is killing beautiful young hipsters in East Los Angeles! But while the bloody trail is cold for the super-apathetic detectives, Charlie, a crime scene cleaner with a penchant for Sherlockian deduction, begins finding some unusual clues in the demo CDs of indie bands left behind at the murder sites. When he befriends two out-of-luck filmmakers turned crime scene videographers, they compete with a rival Danish film crew to hunt for the killer. Meanwhile, the dead hipsters are piling up like pancakes in thrift-store flannel, and on top of everything else, it looks like the killer is now making an experimental film of his own. Features local acts from Eastside Los Angeles and around the globe - The Airborne Toxic Event, Le Switch, Wallpaper, The Franks, Barr, Tobacco, The Sonics, The Irish Goodbye, Her Space Holiday, The Cribs, Gavin Castleton. Bonus features include trailer, behind-the-scenes footage, and bonus scenes. Blu-ray comes with English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired.

hidden gem
Excellent film, I loved this film from start to finish.Highly recommended if you like good films, reminded me of behind the mask of Leslie Vernon.Lots of references to film makers which I enjoyed and although not a comedy(perhaps dark humour) it is witty and had me laughing at the clever way in which the scenes where cut.I scanned imdb in hopes to find more films by Todd Berger but found myself disappointed, he has however done a bunch of shorts which I will now binge watch. I look forward to his next film. This guy will be a big name.

Fun music, not much else going for it.
Worth it for the music and LA scenery but not much else. Carried the self-aware in-jokes way too far.

it wasn't at all what i was expecting (which wasn't much) but it pleasantly suprised me!
I'll be honest, i didn't expect to like this, but i really did. It does what a lot of Indie movies fail to do, make do with what the have. The acting was decent, the story was pretty great, the only reason i don't find it a five star is because of the slightly predictable ending and the amount of attention given to the director (which is fine, it just off-balanced itself a bit) and another thing but i don't want to spoil anything.It's a pretty great story of a director who needs to get a job that pays more, so he does crime scene filming. His buddy who works with him as his "producer" wants him to try and make a name for himself in crime scene footage. During the movie it flashes to a courtroom where they are clearly on trial for something we aren't quite sure of for the first bit of the movie. They meet a crime scene cleaner who seems to notice more than the cops investigating the crime. It's far more humorous and interesting than i'm describing. Since it is free on prime right now, it's worth a watch, i wouldn't pay the rental fee, unless you watch the trailer and think it's up your alley. I again have to say this is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when you enjoy what you do, because it really shows, everyone acted well, the shots were set up well, the writing, the directing.

Great Indie Film
For an Indie production this is one of the best overall I have seen. One actor reminds me of Dwight Yoakum and he has the flair for acting. Well done to everybody. Amazing and I would pay to see this in a theatre; like an Art Theatre that gives space and time to Indie films. I'll be watching for others with this teaM!

Very dark humor, in a good way.
This is a very nice film about murder and film making.
