I just saw the film tonight (Lord Byron) on Netflix. Great job, Mr Godshall. To read here that you spent less than $1,000 on production was absolute bliss to me. You have proven that great film does not require millions. A film such as this ought humiliate the hollywood elite and bring the arts back to the people. Great job, loved the film.

[…] 9. Lord Byron (Zack Godshall, 30 points) — Lord Byron is Godshall’s third feature, after Low And Behold and God’s Architects. Here, as with those films, the Louisiana-based Godshall has drawn from a Southern pot of gumbo to deliver another peculiar dose of ecstatic truth. There are many valid cinematic references for Lord Byron—Slacker, Werckmeister Harmonies, Down By Law, just to name a few—but based on its production value alone, there is an unfortunately more direct correlation to those well-intentioned-but-just-not-up-to-snuff local productions one encounters at tiny regional festivals everywhere. So what makes Godshall’s vision so different? Though it may have a similar look and “feel,” Lord Byron’s ace in the hole is one powerful word: literature. By wielding their camera like a pen, Godshall and his creative collaborator Russ Brupbacher have plunged deep into the bayou’s soul, whereas most other work of this ilk just skitters on the surface. We’re supposed to compare movies to other movies, but when I try to do that with Lord Byron, the names John Kennedy Toole, Walker Percy, and Carson McCullers instead spring to mind.

Zack, your experience with Lord Byron is precious to me. I am going to watch your film at the Denver film festival tonight. I do my videos and my projects in the same spirit. Almost your aspiration is for having the freedom of movement and orientation for life that migration birds have. I am from the south and live in the north and come back to the south and back and forth. My transparency is also my vulnerability, but I believe in trust. I trust your manifesto, your motto, your dream, because we are part of other’s dream, maybe the ones who suffer or are in pain, we connect, we resist, we are not selling ourselves!
