Press Kit

“What Are The Odds?” is one of the best shorts I have ever seen. It is classy and has that Ole New York feel to it. But what I liked best is that it has the feeling of watching a Broadway play. Kudos also to your graphics people for the credits and the score. The clarinet is a great touch.” – Brian Content of The Screening Room
