“This is, without a doubt, my favorite 18 minutes of STIFF* this year -- or SIFF**, for that matter. [...] I almost didn’t watch it. I almost fucked up big-time. It’s the story of an inventor, a landlord, and the world’s most charming machines.” —Lindy West, The Stranger *Seattle True Independent Film Festival **Seattle International Film Festival “In the glow of the morning after, this is one of the greatest films of all-time [...] I was literally on the edge of my seat as human nature and its accompanying foibles played out on the screen.” —Manny Mendoza, KERA North Texas “This was our favorite short of the night. [...] The comedic timing was impeccable. [...] Gustav Braustache’s gadgets and machines were all so delightful. [...] The Auto-Debilitator is perhaps the greatest invention of all time. My love and devotion for Nikola Tesla have suddenly shifted towards the brilliant Mr. Braustache.” —Dwight, Film Cake “Gustav was certainly outstanding. I could watch that one several times over. It created this wonderful, weird–yet– entirely–believable little world. Loved it, loved it” —Sarah, Film Cake “A wonderfully wacky short black-and-white film that no description can do justice.” —Tampa Film Fan
