Fantastic article out today on Indiewire “Is Kickstarter the future of DIY film distribution?”
New review out for “The Projectionsit” via Brave New Hollywood.
“The Projectionist” is a heartbreaking, hard-hitting film that imprints on the soul. The bond between screenplay and photography successfully paint a cold, hopeless world to which the hero must adapt. Within these gray, shadowy confinements the film also showcases a heart and compassion for its subject.”

About “The Projectionist.”
Battling insomnia & undiagnosed PTSD, Jacob Nics (Russ Russo) a war veteran works nights as a projectionist at a decrepit theater. While struggling to adapt to civilian life, he soon finds himself tangled in an inescapable web of seduction, addiction, & violence.
Director: Ryan M. Kennedy – Starring: Russ Russo, Natasha Alam, Kiowa Gordon, Robert Miano & Doug E Doug.
“His empty eyes gaze in anguish at the few people willing to acknowledge him, and his voice has the halting cadences of someone who has forgotten the basic tenets of human interaction. It is a fascinating and devastating feat of acting.”
Russ Russo as Jacob Nics in “The Projectionsit” – Film Threat Magazine Review.
“A fascinating vision of emotional isolation and physical angst along the seedier edges of New York.”
– Film Threat Magazine
