What people are saying about In the Company of Strangers: |
||
"Hofbauer makes the most out of the video format... provides us with an excellently shot film.' '...quite visually appealing despite its budgetary limitations.' '...an excellent example of independent filmmaking.' 'The characters all seem to be fairly well written and consistent.' |
"As some one who grew up in New York, and who now lives in Los Angeles, I find myself losing contact with the art coming from"flyover country", that large area between New York and California with a lot of consumers....the heartland of America. Tom Hofbauer is one of the finest film makers currently working in flyover country; he is the John Sayles of Ohio. This is an illuminating, topical and important work about Mainstream America." Gerald Maxey, LA-based Filmmaker ("Los Pistoleros") January 2010 |

"Hofbauer illustrates the passage of time and the slow metamorphosis of his protagonist with the skill of a practiced director..." |
"...with an overall strong cast, a well-structured story, and some very impressive direction and camerawork, the film succeeds in being a compelling drama. However, it’s this relentless hopefulness and optimism that is the film’s finest quality." Matt Cummings, Toledo City Paper October 2008 |
|
| "...director/writer Thomas Hofbauer understands the core concepts of homophobia. The rest of the movie proves he has a grasp of the concept of personal change." Doug Brunell, Film Threat |
"...just watched your film... and was blown away! Excellent... stand(s) out from the crowd... deserves to be noticed" Greg Ropp, Great Lakes Film Festival |
