The Strange Ones

"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.

““(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.””
