Critics Speak
- "...LUCK OF THE DRAW is a finely calibrated short that plays cute with the duels of the Old West."
"Duval specializes in an unassuming approach to his characters that sneak up on the viewer in their likeability."
(Interview with J. Duval)
http://www.afidallas.com/docs/DN_DAY_5.pdf - "I cannot recall ever laughing so hard at any other short film I have ever seen."
www.filmthreat.com - “…BITCH, the kinetic, black-and-white, Harold Lloyd-meets-Jello Biafra love story, is one of the most visually sophisticated and stylized films to emerge from that Sundance short film-factory, Columbia University's MFA Film Program…”
www.filmmakermagazine.com - “…(BITCH) is a classic love story, rendered in a style so cynical, so blithely ultra-violent, and joyously scabrous as to be almost unrecognizable…”
www.indiein.com - “…La Cerca is a wistful, based-on-a-true story coming-of-age film…”
www.projo.com - “…exotic setting shows off the talents of another boy actor—Hector Garcia…”
“…(La Cerca) is a poetic glimpse without any heavy propaganda.”
