The Back of the World (2002) |
"Injustices exist because people aren't exposed to the human suffering in them. My hope as a filmmaker is that showing the suffering will motivate people to do something." |

Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Balls Of Fury sweeps across the screen with delightfully wacko one liners per second, locked solidly into the genius premise of ping pong as a girlie game morphed into superjock rivalry between ferocious, sweaty he-men." |

Becoming Jane (2007) |

Belle Toujours (2006) |
"Toujours suggests either creative immortality of a work of cinema as it flows through the imaginative process from one director to another, or simply sexual obsession perpetually unresolved. Or perhaps even a little of both." |

Blame it on Fidel (2006) |
