Silver Lake Film Festival, 2007,Winner - Best Director, Narrative Feature. | | Professional Affiliations | " This stuff – exquisite mixtures of the grandly fabled and the South Bay prosaic, hand-painted two-dimensional puppets moving by hand and wire through a hand painted hell via traditional filmic and theatrical techniques – is intoxicating."
– Dave Shulman, LA Weekly
"There’s enough of the divinely comic in this 'Inferno' to justify a pair of sequels"
-Peter Keough, Boston Phoenix
“One of the best-looking films in Park City…wondrously detailed…I couldn't take my eyes off it.”
-WIRED
"...feels like the unholy offspring of Mike Judge and R. Crumb."
– Robert Abele, LA Times
"...the sheer level of artistry involved is immersive and like nothing you’ve ever seen on the big screen. Easily one of the most original films of the year, and probably one of the best, too."
– Luke Y. Thompson, OC Weekly
"Dante's Inferno...features a Dante (voiced by Dermot Mulroney) who finally unseats Clerks' Dante as the biggest slacker named Dante in filmdom"
– San Francisco Bay Guardian
"One of the films generating buzz over at Slamdance has been Dante's Inferno...The flick is visually stunning..."
-Boston Globe
"Whoever thought of making the greatest story ever put to paper into a PUPPET SHOW deserves to be shot and killed and have the dogs eat their guts!"
-Anonymous IMDB.com User

Dante's Inferno's Blurbs |
About me:
DANTE'S INFERNO has been kicking around the cultural playground for over 700 years. But it has never before been interpreted with exquisitely hand-drawn paper puppets, brought to life using purely hand-made special effects. Until now. Rediscover this literary classic, retold in a kind of apocalyptic graphic novel meets Victorian-era toy theater. Dante..s Hell is brought to lurid 3-dimensional, high-definition life in a darkly comedic travelogue of the underworld - set against an all-too-familiar urban backdrop of used car lots, gated communities, strip malls, and the U.S. Capitol. And populated with a contemporary cast of reprobates, including famous - and infamous - politicians, presidents, popes, pimps. And the Prince of Darkness himself.
