“Person, Place, or Thing was the highlight of the four films in the first Shorts Program. Following a woman who lives in her car, it established a down and dirty mood and carried the mood throughout.”

“In Person, Place or Thing the protagonist Alexis is radioactive; she's breaking the rules of society by deliberately occupying the margin. This short is protein-rich with potential.”
Jardine Libaire, Contributor to ELLE, NEW YORK MAGAZINE, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
“Person, Place or Thing is dark, gritty, anything but uplifting, and not where you'd expect a viewer's heart to open. But mine did. The subject matter is fertile ground for moralizing or sentimental sympathy. Martini avoids both with a subtle hand that makes for much more impact.”
Jeff Golden, host of IPR and author of Unafraid
