Director Seth Savoy and his co-writers Kevin Bernhardt and Jason Miller take a jaundiced view of Millennials with a film that wants to have its cake and eat it too. This heist thriller-cum-study in generational angst sees Millennials as whiny clones of their parents: according to the film, they have just as much of Boomers’ “screw you, I got mine” selfishness with added helpings of pretension and shortsightedness. It’s no coincidence that the film uses the term “Echo Boomers” to describe Millennials rather than the more common parlance.

Entrenchments: Three impassable military ditches were dug across the entire bottom of Echo Canyon. ![]() At least 14 visible breastworks are located in a 1⁄2-mile stretch.

During that brief period (about 2 months for most of the men), the Militia constructed breastworks up on the sides of the cliffs, dug trenches, dammed the creek, built mounds, and constructed “Wickiup City,” which consisted of a few log houses and some tents, but mostly “wickiups” made of poles, willows, and grass with dirt roofs.
