Current TV (about "Made in USA")
"Powerful. Great documentary."
"Powerful! Beautiful! And an amazing example of what's happening to the place we once called America." "My only question is why this is not airing all over America?"
"This is the best video I have seen on here yet."
"Now this is the sort of video that makes Current TV current!! It definitely needs to be shown not just on the web but everywhere!"
"It's really interesting when you first look at this video it seems like it's a small pathetic march and then... it morphs into something very sinister! As simply put by some else scary... very scary!"
Current TV (about "Love From The First Click")
"Well done. I love the positive energy and the non-judgmental perspective towards the paradigm shift in dating from the real world to the cyber world. This was an excellent piece, well rounded and full of life for the audience to digest."
"Really nice... It made me smile... I like how you had the subtitles on the sides..."
Current TV (about "Polar Bear Club")
"Good pacing, very cute. I liked a number of the clips in this project, especially the woman who talks about "embracing the cold"!
"Growing up in Brooklyn and going to CI as a kid, I can appreciate this pod. The story of the Psycho Polar Bear Club is well told."
Current TV (about "Our Time Is Soon - OTIS")
"The film captures the essence of O.T.I.S. perfectly. Each time I've seen them, I was most struck by how much they seem to enjoy what they are doing. Whether in a bar, at the showcase, or under the Washington Square arch, the infectious sense of fun always draws in the audience." "Awesome ! Very well produced!"
