Press voices

„One does not shake the feeling that there is something fishy, but that is by no means a drawback. It makes the entire story even more entertaining.“ (Sebastian Groß, moviebreak)

„David Redmon and Ashley Sabin’s frivolous but amusingly freewheeling documentary, ,Kim’s Video,’ [is] a film premised on the idea that some people struggle to separate movies from real life.“ (David Ehrlich, IndieWire)

“In the documentary Kim’s Video, premiering in Sundance’s NEXT sidebar, director-partners Ashley Sabin and David Redmon (Girl Model) elucidate some, if not all, of the enigmas behind the Kim’s saga, offering up a freewheeling investigation that’s both a cinephile’s homage and an amateur heist flick, stirring up old controversies while creating a new one.” (Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter)

The director about the film

„Initially, I didn’t intend to film or record my efforts to find Kim’s Video in Salemi and rent a movie. But the voices continued speaking to me: ,Pick up the camera and film! Just record!’”
