Mark L. Feinsod

"A bleak melodrama set in contemporary NYC, post-9/11, and shot film noir style... [I] fell in step with the film's theme that all relationships in the post-9/11 city are damaged for various reasons and that the most vulnerable are the true artists, the sensitive and those who are capable of loving with their heart."
- Dennis Schwartz, Ozu's Film Reviews

"...[The Deafening Silence of a Very Bright Light is] a very well-made, well-acted and well-focused production.  It was one of the best indie films I’ve seen in ages."
– Film critic Phil Hall
