What was the reaction like? Good/bad, packed house, ect. Will it screen in LA anytime soon?

Here's a review from SXSW. Sounds awesome.

"SHUTTLE delivers one of the most compelling denouements of any genre film I’ve seen in the past year. It’s tragic and brutal."

I'm just praying it gets picked up by a distributor and at the very least goes onto DVD.

I would agree with that statement, at least. The last scene was the most chilling and believable for me. If the rest of the film had that level of brutal reality, it would have been worth it. Also, it's not as if the premise was totally out of the realm of reality. That's the thing; it's totally real. It was the Hollywood treatment of the subject that made it go over the edge. Should have kept it within the boundaries of "normal" to keep us truly on the edge of our seats, guessing what whould happen and cringing for our leads.
