"For convincing drama, David Canady's "Weekends in Brooklyn" is the most developed of this program. His camerawork is focused and even, especially when the central character, a black man from England, has to deal with his girlfriend's pregnancy... with skilled editing Canady manages to give this short a certain charm and coherence."

John Barry, Baltimore CityPaper



"I found your picture a pleasure to watch... The acting was first rate and I thought the girl especially good."

Elmore Leonard
[Out Of Sight, Get Shorty, Jackie Brown]
