Reviews |
When I first viewed this film, I felt as I was walking side by side
with Fellini, Dali, and Walt Disney through the Land of Oz, I was fascinated and intrigued form the beginning to the end!
Alvaro, renown illustrator
I finally had a chance to see your short masterwork. It's the most gently outre, whimsically avant, charmingly abrasive film I've seen
in years, ant it shoots an arrow straight into my own heart - such a freaking delight, and a breath of fresh air.... Keep it up, keep producting, have an amazing time in Cannes, and keep me abreast
of your progress. Brian Felsen, CD Baby President
on the script "It's emotionally moving, poignant and humorous.
Your imaginative use of the moving image to advance the story
rather than gratuitous use of words, is most exciting" Roy Thinnes, Actor |
