...genius and genius collided to make a very extraordinary film. An aural tapestry that still haunts me. Truly a special piece of art.

The visual creativity in your film is fresh and imaginative. I loved seeing the fish with human bodies walking around NYC. Laura’s telling of the story of Jonah and the Whale is terrific.

…oncoming waves of enthusiasm, laughter, joy and other extreme and inappropriate behavior… beautiful sounds throughout…we loved it. When can we expect a sequel?
