  • Reviews

    "In this amusing yet unsettling animated glimpse into the dark stream of one woman’s consciousness, one may find something all too familiar." -Aspen Shortsfest

    "A continually flowing hand-drawn representation of the never ending nagging thoughts we all possess, Panic Attack! is an embarrassing reminder of how overblown our imaginations can get when left by themselves. Panic Attack! hits close to home for anyone who has an overactive imagination that leads their mind into a vice of stressful scenarios only to be brought back to the reality that you are simply waiting at a stop light." -Palm Springs International ShortFest: Cruz's Picks
