2022 Climax Critics Awards: “Perfect Storm” (New Zealand)
"Through naturalistic photography, Perfect Storm transports us to breathtaking landscapes capable of making us feel inexhaustible solitude, astutely conveying dream-like sensations and the smallness of man in the immensity of the natural world, in shots reminiscent of the Oscar-winning ‘The Power of the Dog’ (Jane Campion, 2021).
A triumph."
Cleveland International Film Festival 2022
"In a film for our times, PERFECT STORM identifies with the global pandemic, providing…sublime and inescapable beauty. Cinematography is at its best, seriously stunning even with overcast skies. Creatively shot,...the scenes are too numerous to mention them all.
Light is truly balanced throughout, both in low light and brighter settings."
