Accolades & Press

“Well-observed, bitingly funny and riddled with idiosyncrasies.”

— IndieWire

“In the last couple of years Tyburski and his filmmaking partner Nabors have between them picked up a Grand Jury Award for Documentary Feature prize at SXSW 2013, a Special Jury Award at Sundance 2013 and have been listed as one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film. The pair are obviously highly-regarded in the filmmaking industry and should have a bright future ahead of them in their chosen profession.”

— Short Of The Week

“...A fully realized, well shot and brilliantly acted short film that you’re probably going to see at numerous film festivals for the next few years. And with good reason– it’s outstanding… Actor Seeks Role is the real deal.”
