“I watched Looking for David and was so deeply moved, both by the stories of David’s life and kindness and how he touched people, but also by the bravery of your searching for him in this way. I think it’s perfect. ”
Laura Moss, writer/director Fry Day
“The film captures beautifully both the sense of pride in who David was and the immense sense of loss. I love the way the film also follows your journey and the poetry you included. And I’m glad you also explored the darker sides of David’s story. Many aspects of it I identify with very much, especially how corrosive the sense of shame can be.”
Vika Evdokimenko, writer/director Aamir

Anne Fratto, editor, This is Everything: Gigi Gorgeous
