FRENCH LESSONS

Bienvenue en…. Los Angeles! Film executive Kyle and filmmaker Arran rendez-vous for a tête à tête in this crème de la crème of Cinéma Verité.

READ LA PREMIÈRE CRITIQUE!

“French Lessons isn’t afraid to poke fun at itself with a joke at the expense of short filmmakers, or afraid to laugh at how disconnected industry execs are… for all its grounded critiques of the industry, also tickles an oddball funny bone."
- Beyond the Cinerama Dome

“Less about learning French and more about learning how people communicate when the stakes are high. It’s about posture, tone and silence as much as dialogue.”
- Overly Honest Reviews
