Press News and Reviews

“Isabelle McNally’s combination of vulnerability and bluntness draws you to her and gut punches you in the end.”

Daryl Freimark – Producer – (Hairspray, Some Velvet Morning)

“Haunted and haunting, Eric Chaney’s Indigo Children is a powerful journey deep into the heart of teenage alienation, desire, and love… has a keen ear for the way the young articulate with their hearts, instead of their words. See it.”

Todd Komarnicki – Producer (Elf), Writer (Sully)

“One of the best first films I’ve ever seen.”

Frederick Zollo – Producer (Mississippi Burning, Quiz Show)

“…lyrical, unconventional and provocative… unpredictable… visual poetry… refreshingly un-Hollywood.”

NYC Movie Guru / Avi Offer

“…pretty… elliptical… lushly photographed, in a Terrence Malickian sort of way.”

The Hollywood Reporter / Frank Scheck

“Mr. Chaney’s movie wears its heart on its sleeve.”
