"Writers Dan Steadman and Rajeev Sigamoney wisely keep a lid
on excessive silliness as they jab at such topics as religious fervor,
opportunism and artistic talent — or the lack thereof."
RE: JESUS PEOPLE
- Village Voice
“Treats the characters with genuine affection
and a portrayal of faith that actually has integrity.”

“EXPECT DELAYS will make you laugh, cry, and think, without ever feeling
taken advantage of . . . There’s never a ploy to make change feel instant and easy,
even though characters are able to transform throughout the film. EXPECT DELAYS
is a true rare gift in a holiday film, in that it never insults the audience.”
- Richard Kramer
“Dan Steadman, the writer-director, loves his characters, and sets them into a framework
I found moving and profoundly recognizable. He’s the real deal, as is RED LODGE.”
writer/director of THIRTYSOMETHING and MY SO-CALLLED LIFE
"A story of small-town life, of everyday fears and anxities, a dash of the mystical and mysterious - those components make BELLEVILLE a great film."
