Los Angeles Times
Rust (2025)
Publish Date: May 1, 2025

Los Angeles Times
The Legend of Ochi (2025)
Publish Date: April 17, 2025
"It’s a jewel box of a film, for sure, with a nice message inside, but losing yourself in its world is where it falls short"

Los Angeles Times
Maria (2024)

Los Angeles Times
Ash (2025)

Los Angeles Times
Eephus (2024)
