Quotes, to warm you up:

     "Authentically peculiar. Like something from the network vaults
      of an alternate universe."
             -- William Gibson (author, Neuromancer, Count Zero, etc.)

     "I admire your dark and paranoid visions in all of their
      intergalactic complexity."
            -- William T. Vollman (author, "You Bright and Risen Angels", "The
               Iceshirt", "The Rainbow Stories", all Penguin/Viking Press)

     "WAX strikes me as a truly major accomplishment, intellectually
      rich, verbally inventive, visually stunning, and -- perhaps most
      remarkable of all -- as emotionally resonant as any film I've
      come across in recent years."
            -- Larry McCaffery (editor, "Storming the Reality Studio: A Casebook
               on Cyberpunk and Postmodern Fiction", Duke University Press):

     "WAX is like no movie you have ever seen. Call it postmodern,
      postcyberpunk... or post cinema, the point is this 85 minute
      celebration of the possibilities of "electronic cinema" may well
      indicate the future direction of SF film, if not "film" itself.
            -- Brooks Landon (author, "Aesthetics of Ambivalence: Rethinking SF
               Film in the Age of Electronic (Re)Production", Greenwood Press)

     "WAX is a treat for the eyeballs, a delight for the receptor
      sites, a brilliant illumination for our left brains and our right
      brains!"
            -- Timothy Leary
