I liked all the films especially the one for Superman [“This is Joe”] and the last one which was longer [“Frontman”]. I look forward to attending all the rest.

The video of Jonny making a deal with the devil ["Souled Out"] had an interesting ending... I liked the one with the Jazzy feel, the Maroon 5 song Jazz version… I liked the Marlowe song…. The 1980’s group with the underappreciated guitarist was funny [Wild Oates]… Also the one with funny bathroom noises [The Big Pain].
–Jerry Shidzugane, writer and illustrator of Uncle Pedro's Chicken
The most memorable was the guy shooting at cockroaches with a gun [Copula]. Also the rockstar losing his hearing...that stirred something and left a mark."

“I teared up during this one because, I have thought of all my favourites losing body parts or hearing or sight… or voice. You never know, going into surgery if you are going to come out better or damaged beyond repair, or at all, you know? Live NOW!!! Is what it felt like it was telling me.” https://web.facebook.com/RISHKENYA/?fref=ts, Kenyan female rock musician, commenting on "Frontman"
“The screening was amazing. I saw the poster the day before and decided to come. I would appreciate if I can get a poster for the next event earlier to share with my friends because I'm sure many would be willing to come. We were four of us from Nairobi University and had the news reached us earlier, we would have been more. The main feature [“Frontman”] was awesome and it was great how it illustrated the various relationships the artist had with his fans, daughter and the manager.” – Bedan Mwathi
