BEHOLD THE HUMAN ALGORITHM

“Utterly charming”
-Shawn Levy, author of CASTLE ON SUNSET 

“Yes, there are the pleasures of browsing and holding movies as tangible things in your hands. But filmmaker James Westby seems most taken with the idea that it’s important to talk about these movies with one another in person. Hey, remember that?”
-Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune

”Don’t miss this if you love film!”
-Charles Cross, author of HEAVIER THAN HEAVEN

“This one got me right in the heart! Funny and insightful.”
-ThirdCoastReview 

"Perfectly captures the often shambolic nature of these home video emporiums.
Pays Tribute To the Movie Rental Era.”

-Robert Ham, Portland Mercury

“What stood out to me the most about Westby’s film is that it’s an offbeat documentary. It moves at a blinding pace, with one fast cut after the other. Its visual style mimics the old days of video editing.”
-Alan, Ng, Film Threat
