Press

"I saw 'The Tourist' at SXSW - it was quiet and dreamy and had a subtle sense of humor that I really liked."

Karina Longworth, Cinematical

"A short film with much power, and an almost mystical instinct about the weirdness of everyday life."

Mark Rhodes, Films in Review

"Nicely enigmatic and with spectacular colour sequences."

Simon Cameron, Shooting People

"I pictured the ‘conclusion’ before it even happened, but what difference does that make…? Eerie and intense b&w visuals."
