Alex's hand could be felt all over this shoot, but he used relatively few words. The atmosphere was controlled and efficient, but soft and open. It's no joke to coordinate a three-camera shoot, but the whole thing was so low key. Nothing got in the way. It seemed like we were shooting a lot of the time. Our cohesion as an ensemble for that day's scenes was 95% there when we arrived; the casting was that good. Very nice.

"CANARY is to biotech what PRIMER is to time-travel. It's a cerebral, tantalizing fantasy...[The director's] talent shows through this film in every aspect. [Actress] Carla Pauli is perfect."
-- Richard von Busack,
Silicon Valley Metro


"Like the best 'little' films, CANARY is a very big film...full of wonder and menace...It is a film to be reckoned with, to be savored, and not to be forgotten."
-- Nick Rombes, Digital Poetics
