“It’s been an amazing journey the last few weeks as my film TORN was released in theaters. Receiving so much critical praise has been terrific, To get great reviews in both of my hometown papers – The New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle – has been incredible. My favorite part of the whole experience has been the Q&A sessions with the audience – hearing what the film has meant to them. As a filmmaker, by the time you finish your movie, you’re never 100% sure it works for viewers as you hope it will. I truly believe that it is the audience that completes your film, and the overwhelmingly positive response we’ve received has been wonderful and humbling. Thank you everyone who has seen the film and posted feedback on Rotten Tomatoes and Fandango.” Jeremiah Birnbaum
