Review: Sisters / Hermanas

“SISTERS is a deeply personal film that will resonate with anyone who watches it. You will come out of it with a new outlook on life and a better understanding of sisterhood.” – Zach Chabot

Review: Desync

“As writers, we are told to ‘write what you know,’ and as the film suggests, sometimes that approach can be taken very literally. ” – Zach Chabot

Review: I Like Movies

“On the surface, ‘I Like Movies’ is a coming-of-age film paying homage to cinema through the lens of a teenage cinephile working at a video store. At its core, it is so much more.” – Zach Chabot

Review: Waves

“Like its title, the movie comes at you in waves; many highs and many lows, and never really gives you a chance to breathe.” – Zach Chabot

Review: All Quiet on the Western Front

I wouldn’t recommend this to the faint of heart. It is an accurate depiction of the time and it deserves praise for not being scared to show it.” – Zach Chabot

Review: Baz Lurhmann’s Elvis

“Lurhmann personifies the fantasy land that is Las Vegas while simultaneously showing the audience how the city can be as addicting as the games within it.” – Zach Chabot
