Written Quotes: "There are a few gems to be taken away from the picture, and all three of those gems come in the form of impressive performances; Brad Dourif and the unknowns Ross Destiche and Emily Soto; we may end up knowing these two well." "though she doesn't have a large part in the film, she too brings good energy and dedication to the project. It should be interesting to see where her career heads from here" --Addicted to Horror Movies, The Control Group Movie Review "Emily, we very much enjoyed your performance. It was very true to life, which is what we are looking for." --Film Producer, Casting Director, Christopher Burgart "Emily is a unique artist in every way. At first glance you see a quirky character actress. But when you look a little deeper, the thoughts, the complexity, and rich well of emotion that support each line make her so much more than that. This makes her uniquely qualified to tell a story in a way that only she can. In other words, what you get from her you can't get from anyone else." -- Award Winning Writer/Director, John Hindman "I can't say enough great things about you. You have such an authentic and caring disposition. I absolutely believed that you sincerely cared about this stranger you just met. I'd be surprised if I didn't see you show up on television shows in the next couple years." -- Film Producer, Casting Director, Emile Touri
