“A soulful 16mm portrait... TRUE BLUE draws its characters perhaps as symbols of a faded American dream, but does so with complexity and warmth. David Warshofsky and Michael James Shaw are both riveting performers and the film built around them registers as a sad romance, to lost people and a lost place...”

— Kentucker Audley, NoBudge (2019 Short Films of the Year)

“An interesting character study as well as a ‘post-LGBTQ’ film in the vein of [Barry Jenkins’] MOONLIGHT...

Both Warshofsky and Shaw fully inhabit their roles and the film possesses a certain earnestness as well as a somewhat prickly underbelly. It’s almost a bit tough to recall that it is less than 20 minutes... because it manages to create a world that feels real.”
