Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

Richard 'R.G.' Miller is the epitome of a modern day Don Quixote and watching his internal struggle to find perfection in his films is not only fascinating, but is also something that should resonate in the heart of every creative artist. Unbiased interviews with family members, friends and even Miller himself provide a heartwarming and inspirational look at how one man has been able touch the lives of an entire community (and potentially, the world via YouTube).The real prize though is in it's final moments when 'Double Digits: The Story of Neighborhood Movie Star' truly reminds us of why we make films in the first place: to capture the hearts and minds of others - no matter the age and no matter the cost.

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.

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.
