The first two interviews I've done for Canary have been in the form of rich, even provocative conversations with other filmmakers conducted on their personal blogs. The latest interview might be more self-revealing than the previous--I'm always surprised to find how much I have to say, regardless of what's asked. This new interview comes as a result of a recent networking blitz on Twitter. Thanks to Brian Spaeth for taking an interest in our film and for posting my answers without cuts. Brian advises his readers to put on their thinking caps before diving in, so I guess I should do the same.

"This second feature by Alejandro Adams confirms him as an arresting talent. [Viewers] may be fascinated to the point of repeat viewings to sort out its myriad characters and half-buried clues."
-- Dennis Harvey, Variety


"Micro in budget, macro in ambition, accomplishment, and scope, Adams's slyly withholding film prompts multiple viewings--and deserves them."
-- Jim Ridley, Village Voice


"Wildly ambitious...an overwhelming and surprisingly fresh-feeling sense of dystopian dread."
-- Karina Longworth, Spout


"[CANARY is] terrific...very creepy and uncanny. It's quite an achievement."
-- Phillip Lopate


"Mysterious, elliptical, Bresson-like. [CANARY] is to biotech what PRIMER was to time-travel."
-- Richard von Busack, Metro
