   "Humor at every turn. These are talents to watch."   - Peter Debruge, Variety   

Additionally, Jess Manafort is the woman to watch. First discovered at age 17 by Martin Scorsese, she then attended NYU's Tisch Film School with his personal letter of recommendation.

Her youth allows her to bring a fresh, creative perspective to her directing that audiences can really appreciate.
