“Ominously simple… Using a minimum of technique, the film oozes maximum uneasiness.”
More good words - this time from The Boston Globe’s review of The Strange Ones as part of the Sundance Arthouse Shorts program.
“May be better, minute for minute, than most of the features at your multiplex.” - ROGER EBERT
The Strange Ones has been reviewed by Roger Ebert! Read his full write-up on the Sundance Arthouse Shorts Program here.
The Strange Ones currently screening across the country as part of Sundance’s Arthouse Project Shorts Program!
We’re honored to be one of the seven films selected from the 2011 Sundance Film Festival to screen in their touring program of shorts! The program has already screened at several theaters, with more leading up to the 2012 festival. If you are near one of these venues, check it out - it’s a great program of shorts that features some of our absolute favorites of the past year.
"(Short films) are usually the best places to recognize up-and-coming talent both behind and on screen… For THE STRANGE ONES, I’ve now seen the film 4 times and each viewing I get goosebumps at the final sequences."
The Strange Ones included in PSD’s Top Ten of 2011!
