<p> The latest review of the film LEACH, which I co-produced and play the lead role in, is in from Son of Celluloid.</p> <p> <a href="http://sonofcelluloid1.blogspot.com/2012/05/review-leach.html">http://sonofcelluloid1.blogspot.com/2012/05/review-leach.html</a></p> <p> The film was released independently in 2011 for a limited time, and has played a few festivals.  One of the comments I loved in his review is one of the reasons I wanted to jump on board when Director John Taylor approached me about the script.</p> <p style="margin-left: 40px; "> <em>"Without giving anything away, children are harmed in this story.<span> </span>Nothing is actually shown, but some things do happen that indicate that these children are going to be harmed.<span> </span>A lot of movies are squeamish about that kind of stuff.<span> </span>People are weird about kids getting hurt onscreen.<span> </span>Don’t get the wrong idea, we’re not talking Serbian Film here or anything, but some parents might have been reluctant to let their kids be involved.<span> </span>It’s fairly intense.<span> </span>There are people, even though it’s obvious that nothing bad happened to these young actors and actresses, who would say these things shouldn’t be done.<span> </span>I say precisely the opposite.These scenes add some extra punch to the proceedings, and really ramp up the stakes.Well done.<span> </span>I applaud the bravery of these young actors and the filmmakers for going there without actually going there."</em></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px; "> <em> - Son of Celluloid</em></p> <p> If you are curious, read the whole review.</p> <p> The film has won some awards for both asthetics and performances, and it was an honor to be involved in a project that is slowly fonding its audience. </p> <p> Other reviewers have been equally positive in siting how refreshing the film is in comparison to other indies at this budget level.</p> <p style="margin-left: 40px; "> <em>"...a no holds barred, brutally honest character study..."</em></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px; "> <em>- Richard Propes, The Independent Critic</em></p> <p> <a href="http://www.theindependentcritic.com/leach"><em>http://www.theindependentcritic.com/leach</em></a></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px; "> <em>"...this film crawls into your skin and gets your nerves jerking and has you on the edge of your seat to the final scene..where you smile and say..thank you and want to spread the word..."</em></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px; "> <em>- The Wicked Channel</em></p> <p> <a href="http://wickedchannel.com/2011/11/movie-review-leach/">http://wickedchannel.com/2011/11/movie-review-leach/</a></p> <p> Gruesome Hertzogg Movie Review Podcast</p> <p> <a href="http://www.gruesomehertzoggpodcast.org/2012/01/leach-2011.html">http://www.gruesomehertzoggpodcast.org/2012/01/leach-2011.html</a></p> <p> Rogue Cinema's Review of LEACH</p> <p> <a href="http://roguecinema.com/article2265.html">http://roguecinema.com/article2265.html</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> It's very gratifying to know the work you put in is working and peoplemare appreciating the story you tell, and recognize the hard work everyone puts in to create something entertaining and thought provoking.</p> <p>  </p>
