"All my life since chidhood I have believed, often have written, that movies
are dreams, dreams movies.  Now a young fellow named David Blair comes in with
a movie that's so much like so many parts of so may of my own dreams - and
yours, too, I bet - that it's scary.  Also, in its crazy way, it's kind of
wonderful"    Jerry Tallmer, N.Y. Post

"What should make the film a cult favorite is the inricat design of Mr. Blairs
story....WAX reverberates with with implications about the relationship
between video and the modern world"  - Stephen Holden, New York Times

"If you're in the mood for a unique fusion of First Men in the Moon, and
Eraserhead, Forbidden Planet and Down by Law, then get WAXed."  Paul Di
Fillipo

Hailed by literati on the sci-fi/cyberpunk contiuum as "authentically
peculiar, like something from the network vaults of an alternate universe"
(Willian Gibson) and "the future direction fo sci-fi film, if not film itself"
(Brooks Landon, CineFantastique)

"What a Buzz.  An inspired, maddening, nuclear powered bughouse rant, David
Blairs Kaleidoscopic SF video feature WAX, or the Discovery of Televison Among
the Bees belongs to the same post atomic tradition of hallucinatory cultural
discourse that runs from Thomas Pynchon to the Epcot Center to the Weekly
World News, gobbling up everything in between like a siege of
driverants......WAX is a startling, ballsy trip, one that runs around in your
head like a ricocheting bullet for weeks."  Michael Atkinson, New York Press

"A fascinating, if numbing feature length narrative video by David balir with
remarkable computer graphic and other special effects."  Critics Choice.
Jonathon Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader.

"Those with an attraction to the strange will find everything they could
possibley want in a video....... WAX offers a decidedly different choice of
video entertainment that seriously challenges the viewer with its technical
innovations and outright weirdness.  Dan Pearson, Southtown Economist
(Chicago)

"WAX or the discovery of Television among the bees" is without a doubt one of
the most technically impressive films of the year.....This is a masterpiece of
virtual surreality.
