I read the synopsis.  It sounded intriguing. I was not disappointed!

 

I thought it was such an excellent film, and just want to thank you.

I loved  the way you shot the film.  Nando Del Castillo really made the character come to life.  I could not wait to see what happened next.

I can't wait to see it again, when it comes out.


Thank you for making such a unique and intriguing film.

Like any really good film, you want to see it over and over again.

 

Sincerely,

Karen Delvin-Gillespie

I absolutely loved your film. Very ambitious!

I was surprised that such a "difficult" film with an uncanny, otherworldly, "platonic" theme could be so riveting.


At some point it reminded me of Andrei Zoulafski's "L' important c’est d' aimer".


Again, thank you Minos and I look forward to watching more

films of yours in the future.


Warmest regards,

Alkis Delantonis

It's quite an achievement - I really enjoyed it. I thought [Nando] was fantastic and if he doesn't have casting agents lining up at his door, then there is something wrong!

PRESS


"Expressionistic and eerie!  Referencing 'Blow Up' and 'After Hours,' it's a  late night descent into post-industrial hell."

--VILLAGE VOICE



"Mystical, off-the-wall and trippy!."

-- VARIETY


 

"(A film of) haunting figments. Director Minos Papas channels both David Lynch and Dante's Inferno."

-- TIME OUT NY


 

"Intermittently beautiful!  Inspired by Dante's Inferno and Greek mythology, SHUTTERBUG invites us on a photographic odyssey through nighttime Manhattan."

-- NEW YORK TIMES


 

"Dark and Dreamlike!"  -- FILM MONTHLY


 

"A lovely arthouse film in the grand old tradition. CLASSY!" 

-- FILMS IN REVIEW



[Shutterbug] “does not look or sound like a typical Indie film. The film looks like it was shot with a much larger budget... [The filmmakers captured] obscurity, intrigue and an underbelly world with the dark, and constructed a dreamlike sense of hope with lights and colors.”

Sanela Djokovic, Film Monthly.

“Papas creates a haunted netherworld of lost souls... thoroughly disorienting and at times harrowing, quite impressively lit, shot and cut by Papas and his crew.”
