OFFICIAL SELECTION OF THE 2013 BUFFALO-NIAGARA FILM FESTIVAL
What people are saying about Beethopia
"A very timely piece. A wake up call to the world. Thank you Beethoven, well done." - Amazon Review
"Destined to become a cult classic, I enjoyed both science fiction and musicology interwoven seamlessly. Beethopia is also a classic example and inspiration for independent film makers who strive to bring their ideas to life with passion, tenacity and courage." - Amazon Review
"The work of Robert Ashton in this truly carries this film. His range of emotion, self hate, desire for redemption, combined with regret is a rare feat in an independent film such as this". - Amazon Review
"Propelled by an extremely intelligent script...and some superb acting by a talented ensemble cast...a nightmare dystopian future is on tap. If you liked Terry Gilliam's Brazil...you'll be right at home with Beethopia, a remarkable film". - Michael Kawa, Buffalo Niagara Film Festival - Full Review
"As a musician and composer, I believe [Beethopia] strikes a chord with other musicians. The oppression Larry faces as he's forced into music and how he deals with the demons of his larger than life ancestry is common to all musicians as we always strive in the face of monstrous ghosts of the past. Brahms said, "You don't know what it feels like to hear Beethoven's footsteps behind you." - Joe Johnson, Composer
