Manito
Manito, Eric Eason's debut feature, was made with very little money, a fair amount of skill and a great deal of heart... Eason, using a hand-held camera and a largely new or nonprofessional cast, brilliantly captures the pulse of daily life in working-class, immigrant New York: the hectic rhythms of labor, leisure and family life, the stresses and pleasures, the anxieties and hopes. --A.O. Scott,The New York TimesA heartfelt debut by writer-director Eric Eason. --Roger Ebert,Chicago Sun Times
