REVIEWS
FULL TRANSLATION
“… eighteen extraordinary and exciting minutes. Rarely has found footage revealed so many intimate issues.” - Thierry Méranger, Cahiers Du Cinéma
PRINTED ARTICLE
“The Marina Experiment raises many complex issues, not least the sensitivity and controversy of using children in art. It is a brilliant piece of filmmaking from somebody who had absolutely no knowledge of how to do it: ‘I did it instinctively,’ Lutz says.” - Louise Carpenter, Observer Magazine, Guardian.co.uk“… disturbing echoes of “Capturing the Friedman’s” and Michael Powell’s “Peeping Tom.” - Glenn Lovell, Film Critic/Author cinemadope.com
“… a chilling document of psychological abuse and fractured survival.” - John Ginn, daVinci Film Festival
“... brilliantly intense and the message is penetrating.”
Carol Mandel, Dean of the NYU Libraries“Powerful in it's simplicity.” - James Vincent Colbert, Screenwriter
“Your film is astonishing. I love it, really sad, witty and poignant. Has moments where I felt like I was being indoctrinated.”
- Jane Pollard, iainandjane.com“… controversial and overwhelmingly powerful ... it brought tears to my eyes.” - Paul Hawkins & Dug Degnin
“… eerie and infinitely fascinating … intelligent and absolutely unique…” - Mads Mikkelsen, CPH:DOX

Wisconsin Public Radio Interview January 2018 — “Who’s Watching Us? When Family Photos Go Too Far”
I did an interview for Wisconsin Public Radio / To The Best of Our Knowledge, in 2012. They are re-aring my interview this weekend in a new show called “Who’s Watching Us - When Family Photos go too Far” and I am currently featured as the first item on their homepage
Who’s Watching Us?

Link to my interview:
Above is a link to my original interview, September 9, 2012, for Wisconsin Public Radio's nationally-syndicated, Peabody Award-winning program, “To The Best of Our Knowledge." The theme of this particular show was "Privacy." Producer Doug Gordon created an astonishingly moving nine minute expose. Please read the comments. At every Q&A I've ever done, there is a man who comes to the defense of my father, like he feels he has to defend the entire male population for their behavior. I am grateful that all of this is now being discussed in the #metoo conversation. And I thank the clinical director of a child advocacy center who comes to my defense in the comments.
