“An accomplished and engaging film…smart and well framed” - Ian Bricke, Director of Aquisitions and Programming, The Sundance Channel

“Schell’s quiet, desolate movie is lushly produced, with exceptional sound and photography” - Dean Treadway, Programmer, Dahlonega Film Festival

“Wonderful!  So moving, and taut, and lyrical” - Joan Stein, Academy Award Nominated Director – Live Action Shorts

“Even death walks away looking somewhat stunning.” - Anna Reeves, Artistic Director, Fitzroy Shorts, Melbourne

“We all have our reasons for preferring a film.  But every ingredient is secondary to the director’s ability to choose, conduct and distribute that unique and irresistible snap – that perfect beat – from one shot to the next in the final cut.  As with a musical ear, either you got it or you don’t.  I predict good things for Schell” – Nathaniel Foote, two time Emmy Award winner, Chester, CT

“The photography was gorgeous and there was so much polish to the production and performances that I had to remind myself that this was a directorial debut.  I left the theater feeling the same gnawing buzz one gets from a seventies classic.  I loved the way the sister ran off into the woods in the end – like Popeye Doyle in the French Connection – chasing a shadow.” - Greg Richards, fan, New York, NY
