“Superb, superb, superb.” // Ian Pons Jewell
“Exquisitely shot, chillingly performed. A dystopian fever dream with echoes of Brazil and A Clockwork Orange.” // Ben Steiner
“Visually creative and stimulating, anchored by a superb performance from James Hyland, TRANSMISSION brings classic dystopian cinema to the modern era.” // Screen Anarchy
“TRANSMISSION is a chilling psychodrama in which a trapped protagonist’s only refuge is his battered imagination. The results are deliriously disorienting – and announce the arrival of some formidable filmmaking talents.” // Projected Figures
“TRANSMISSION bubbles. The short film twists you around and gets in your belly as well as your head.” // Devon & Cornwall Film
“The result is disorienting and utterly hypnotic. TRANSMISSION isn’t the sort of film you necessarily understand on first viewing. Yet it’s one you definitely feel, like a series of punches to the gut.” // Horror Cult Films
“TRANSMISSION is David Lynch meets Stanley Kubrick.” // Diegesis Magazine
