AFRAID TO MERGE
"[A] Sublime Northwest gem...through its visceral 16mm cinematography, fluidly disjointed editing style ans spot on performance, Afraid to Merge rises above the crowded landscape of indie family dramas to create a truly engaging potrait of modern American Life."
"Afraid to Merge is a brave narrative feature...[a] provocative portrait of a family's effort to pick up the pieces after divorce shatters their world...[these are] indeed young filmmakers to watch."
