SXSW: 'The Arbalest' Review


The just-completed SXSW Film Festival awarded its Grand Jury prize to The Arbalest, the first feature for writer-director-editor Adam Pinney. (One of his previous claims to fame: He was the cinematographer on Too Many Cooks.) His film deals with a toy inventor hopelessly in love with a woman who won't give him the time of day. (We've all been there, buddy.) I reviewed the movie for Screen International.
