WHAT ARE PEOPLE ON THE NET SAYING ABOUT LAZ?
"Impressive. Shades of Orson Welles!" -- Jelly Helm, Executive Creative Director, Wieden+Kennedy ad agency
"Laz Rojas is a special genius. In all the years I've been lucky to be part of a community of filmlovers dedicated to finding and discovering the strange and unusual, from all corners of the world...few have matched the charm and independent virtuosity of Laz Rojas. Watching his acting reel, re-enacting scenes from his own screenplays, playing every part, male or female, young or old... the technical virtuosity and ingenuity is astonishing. He is maybe my favorite 'outsider' filmmaker." -- Hadrian Belove, Head Programmer, The Cinefamily
"The cinema's truest auteur... This is cinema and life and loneliness and longing and joy and sorrow and a thousand freaking amazing wigs..." --
Spencer Parsons, Associate Professor, Northwestern University
"Laz Rojas is a genius. On YouTube, he has a bunch of clips from this incredible demo tape... I really can’t believe how multi-talented this guy is!! It’s so exciting!" -- Guthrie Lonergan, new media artist, on Nasty Nets
"LAZ ROJAS - Home made, one man Hollywood. His YouTube vids are mind blowing..."
-- Guthrie Lonergan again, on The Year In The Internet 2006
"He epitomizes, to me, a true indie filmmaker... I love this man, simply because he is not afraid to do what he dreams." -- Daniela Capistrano, Associate Producer, MTV News
"Multi-faceted showcase of a multi-talented individual... Astonishing ability to convincingly convey a seemingly endless roster of unique characters of all ages, races and sexes... Be prepared to feel puny, or at least dull, by comparison." -- Will Viharo, Placevine Studios
"The highlight of the event had to be watching the Laz Rojas clips up on a big screen, in the context of art rather than in the context of silly Youtube craziness. He really did create something wholly unique and uniquely strange in a way that a more deliberate or deliberately ironic artist never would have." -- Bryan Poyser, board member, Cinematexas film festival
"Laz Rojas puts on a one man show. Hollywood, why do you keep hiring Scarlett Johansson when you could have Laz?" -- Michael Connor, Head of Exhibitions, British Film Institute
"This man is the Cindy Sherman of self-made video." -- Bryan Poyser again
"Wow, this guy is amazing." -- Elizabeth Abrams, founding member, Austin Video Bee
"genius. no joke." -- Cathy Shive, Mac software engineer and artist, on Del.icio.us
