Nobody 2012
Well the news today seems a bit surreal. While we never shared the same exact views on film-making there is no doubt you were passionate in your craft and the immense love you had for cinema. I've briefly interacted with you on letterboxd, a film server, and facebook and you've always been the kindest person I have ever known online. I was proud to call you my friend.

Observing those who choose to accept their fate in what seems to be the final hours of their lives is moving both from the community and the Apaches themselves. Beautifully shot with gorgeous use of technicolor alongside tackling the themes of morals and the essence of belonging makes Apache Drums nothing short of brilliant.
