"...the evening's highlight was a superb photoplay accompaniment by David Drazin of Buster Keaton's brilliant comedy The Cameraman. Mr. Drazin's photoplay sequencing was impeccable, cleverly following every botch and bobble that the great Keaton had to offer." --Silent Movie Talk, Spring 2002

"Expertly fills in the sounds of silence." --Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Superb live musical interpretation for silent films." -- Classic Images

"A wonderful enhancement!" --Chicago Reader film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum.
