“wittily written, brilliantly acted”
–Variety“beautifully audacious”

–FilmMaker Magazine/IFP“a strange and beautiful little film”
–Spout“funny and eye-popping and never bogs down.”
–Nerve“One of the best films playing at the…Tribeca Film Festival this year”
–New York Magazine
Other Blogs:
“mind-blowing…The overall look of the film was fantastic; the graphics stunning and the flow between parallel threads excellent.”
– apercevoir“…a triumph of individual creation.”
–JTAbron“It’s touching, encouraging, fun, and educational. I LOVE IT!”
–tiny blog“The narration was hilarious, the quality of animation never faltered no matter what the style and the songs were the most incredible fit - astonishing that a jazz song from the 1920’s would match exactly with a story from ~500 BC. “
–Yewknee/Michael Eades“beautiful, funny, and kind of brilliant.”
–Two-Timing My Scrapbook“Hopefully this movie finds its way to Thailand in order to give people a glimpse of how traditional material can still be meaningful today.”

Hi Nina,
You probably don’t remember me, but we met a number of years ago at a party at Sherwin’s house.
I heard about your film at Tribeca and just wanted to say Congrats!
Really nice to see it succeed like this. I wasn’t able to attend Tribeca, but hopefully will get a chance to check it out at a future screening.
Wishing you luck getting distribution.

Thanks Leesa. Weirdly, the Tribeca festival offices themselves are at that same “Sherwin’s house,” which is also where I first heard Annette Hanshaw while staying, shell-shocked, on his sofa. Dropping off the finished film print there was eerie indeed.
