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

“honestly found the approach really funny but which it was tighter and was much tighter in the pacing.”
- arielsayshi (Letterboxd)

“a whole lot of nothing idk. i like the poster design tho”
- cristina (Letterboxd)
