"an original and resonant feature debut...fashioned by young artists with a defiantly personal sense of visual design and pace, along with considerable sympathy for their exceptionally human characters." -Robert Koehler, VARIETY
"Randy Walker and Jennifer Shainin have created a work that, both in its form and content, is organized entirely differently from a conventional film. Their universe is a fragmented, cubistic one where characters' identities won't be reduced to cinematic sound bites and their relationships with each other keep shifting and changing. Characters move through a half-comical, half-absurdist dreamscape of crowded gatherings, surprising parallels, uncanny linkages, and altered perspectives-as if the shape-shifting of the masks we wear and identities we assume on Halloween were able to liberate the magic in the mundane"- Ray Carney, author of CASSAVETES ON CASSAVETES
"its characters are more akin to the American grotesque of Raymond Carver and Flannery O'Connor than any film precedents, save perhaps early Cassavetes."-Isla Leaver-Yap, THE LIST
APART FROM THAT is about how everyone wants to be liked. How people will go to any length to be accepted, and how denial and unmet expectations play a part. In this character-driven drama/comedy, the little moments and everyday lives surrounding three sets of strangers living in the Pacific Northwest coalesce into an examination of this human desire to belong. One story follows the path of Ulla, an introverted student beautician who rents a room in the home of Peggy, an elderly exhibitionist who has made a habit out of placing false phone calls to local fire departments. The second story is that of Leo, a Native American striper for the department of transportation who is in constant search for any distraction that might allow him to forget that his best friend is dying. Running concurrently with these stories is the tale of Sam, a Vietnamese banker who must make a decision at the office that initiates a seemingly irreconcilable divide between himself and his adopted American son. The common thread that binds these stories together is the emotional landscape that silently governs them all. Its an honest look at human vulnerability and the similarities between very different people.
