Praise for Spring Eddy

“If you were to mash up No Country for Old Men with equal parts The Getaway and any romantic comedy, you'd have Spring Eddy.”
- Slackerwood

"A warm, fun, often nutty ensemble comedy that follows the lives of a handful of Texas eccentrics as they collide with one another in a variety of oddball, unpredictable ways. A promising debut for writer-director George Anson, I'm looking forward to his next film."
- Tim McCanlies (Writer/Director, Secondhand Lions)

“It's got all the markings of a complex crime dramedy, complete with a lot of notable Texas landmarks and some very funny performances.”
- Slackerwood

“Spring Eddy,” is much more than just an entertaining movie. Set in Southwest Texas, this clever “tongue-in-cheek” story with villains and heros will keep you guessing and laughing.
- Mary Draughn, Preview Online

“George Anson put together a funny film, and for a debut filmmaker, the future is definitely bright with him.”
- Slackerwood

“Jeannie and H.R.’s love/hate relationship is by far the highlight of the film!”
- Smells Like Screen Spirit
