“Over the past decade, plenty of filmmakers have made the jump from well-received festival offering to major blockbuster gig, but Hutton seems like the rare bird whose work speaks for itself and sets a course for much bigger work. Kitted out with clever practical props, an eye for narrative design, and a real knack for casting compelling stars, Hutton clearly has a bright future ahead of him.”
