“Apart from That” now on DVD!
One of our favorite films from CineVegas 2006 is being self-released on DVD in a beautiful special edition with a photo book. Variety critic Robert Koehler told me it was his favorite American film made last year. Please check it out and see some true independent cinema.
from co-director Randy Walker:
Dear friends,
Well, after 24 festivals, 3 awards, a “limited
engagement” theatrical run in theaters across the US,

from WHOLPHIN:

…these quotes:
“”an original and resonant feature debut…fashioned
by young artists with a defiantly personal sense of
visual design and pace, along with considerable
sympathy for their exceptionally human characters.”
-VARIETY
“…its characters are more akin to the American
grotesque of Raymond Carver and Flannery O’Connor than
any film precedents, save perhaps early Cassavetes.”
-THE LIST
…and let’s not forget this one:
“The sort of film you could threaten naughty children
with.”
-some guy in Scotland
