Cube Variations

I'll let an audience member sum it up: "I think it was a great mistake to show Larence Johson's [sic] film CUBE VARIATIONS Sunday night. NWFC was evidently not thinking of the large percentage of mentally ill people now in our general population. (and the fact that 80 out of 100 Americans now own guns.) This is not a film they should ever view. The first question asked of the filmmakers after the showing was to him and why he had made it, and all he talked about was practicing rotation of animated drawings, never the awful related titles in red that constantly flashed on the screen over them! The man has his own mental problems..."
