Rusted Pyre Screening at the ROM for WSFF
Gasps, sounds of shock, laughter, (and the low rumbling from the subway below the museum), all added to the experience and ambiance of the film. I had felt purely satisfied as I smugly said in my head, “this is the best film in this package.” Continue reading
