—FilmMaker Magazine/IFP“a strange and beautiful little film”
—Spout“funny and eye-popping and never bogs down.”

“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.”

Brava la prima!
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.
