Memphis Film Forum
"We really loved this film, this really reminded me of the early Jim Jarmusch, who I really love. It is one of the films that we are promoting to the press."
Carol Bidault
Executive Director/Founder
DC Independent Film Festival (DCIFF)
"If you are a fan of indie films, this is it. An instant classic. Every time I viewed it I found a new twist. Reminiscent of Tarantino with good humor, I LOVED IT!"
Amazon.com Reviewer
"Best short at festival. I saw this film at the Pocono Mountain Film Fest... The acting was first rate and the black and white photography was very good... All-in-all a very enjoyable short."
IMDb Reviewer
"On the road to Hollywood, a local filmmaker will debut his award winning short film to Long Islanders as part of the Long Island International Film Expo. Delivering a comic tale of romantic frustration, Dan O’Berry will debut his movie ...To Skin a Cat to audiences this weekend."
