“Looking for a Fleabag fix in a post-Fleabag world? You’ll find solace in the similarly audacious Asking For It, filmmaker Drew Denny’s raunchy, darkly funny seven-episode narrative podcast.” -Keely Weiss
“Dark and hooky…” “Asking For It, written, narrated and co-directed by Drew Denny, pushes the genre to an even greater extreme.” -Dana Goodyear
New York Magazine – Vulture, 2020
Drew Denny’s “Asking For It takes an experimental approach to the hybrid album-podcast format” – Cherie Hu
AnOther Mag, 2020
“a bingeable fiction show… Combining Prest’s sonic flair with the cinematic writing of film director/musician Drew Denny, and a lush original soundtrack by HIPS; Asking For It is dark, immersive and raw. Sounds are expertly, richly, layered on top of one another to sink listeners into the world of the story… it’s delicately and deliciously made.” – Thomas Adam Curry
CBC Arts, 2020
Asking For It “explores something we need to discuss more: domestic violence in LGBTQ relationships.” – Peter Knegt
Shadows on the Wall – Arthouse Films, 2019
“Colourfully lurid cinematography and skillful performances that are both larger-than-life and beautifully understated… Plummer’s presence offers a witty echo of Pulp Fiction, and there’s also a clever nod to Thelma & Louise… Writer-director Denny has a superb visual sensibility, capturing her character’s various layers in a brief amount of screen time.”
GoSeeTalk, 2019
“You feel like you’re dropped right in the middle of a Quentin Tarantino narrative. It’s that engrossing.”
Cinema Crazed, 2019
“Drew Denny’s crime thriller is a slick neo-noir gangster picture that packs some really interesting characters and an intriguing heroine… A great sense of energy and wonderful chemistry between Hildebrand and co-star Amanda Plummer.”
Cinema Perspective, 2019
Love the “neon-sleaze aesthetic” of the film – reminded me of Nicolas Refn’s work – but through a queer feminist lens.
Close Up Culture, 2019
“Visually engrossing”
Film Threat, 2019
“Absolutely entertaining,” Momster feels like “a dream experienced by someone within the Natural Born Killers universe… with Tarantino-esque throwbacks.”
Solzy at the Movies, 2019
“Very well-directed!”
Top 10 Films UK, 2019
“Boasting a superb, female-led cast including Brianna Hildebrand and Amanda Plummer, Momster was made with a production team led all-female department heads.”
Film Inquiry, 2019
This is the first short film of the festival I hope is a proof of concept. A strong short, there is without a doubt the possibility for so much more, to expand upon the brief introduction to Momster (Amanda Plummer) and Angel (Brianna Hildebrand).
Unseen Films, 2019
Glorious short film Momster is a sheer delight… thanks to Drew Denny’s kick ass script and direction working with the killer cast. A wonderful story that surprises at every turn. Denny isn’t playing by the typical rules and as a result we have something that makes you go wow and applaud when it’s done… Highly recommended.
The Advocate, 2013
“Denny is an auteur to watch.”
LA Record, 2013
“Tear-inducing, its visual beauty slaps you across the eyes.”
Bust Magazine, 2013

indieWIRE, 2012
“Hilarious, honest [..] a beautiful film that works as a lovely ode to female friendship.”
Huffington Post,2012
“Funny, touching, sexy and in awe of nature…”
Sean Carnage, 2012
“With her latest masterpiece she has taken the DIY ethos—and soundtrack courtesy of collaborators like Emily Lacy, Actually Huizenga, Pizza!, So Many Wizards, and more—to it’s grandest, most ultimate extreme. It’s an outpouring of emotion and poetry, stitched together with the care of a craftsperson.”
