"Actual People captures actual truths about the ways that young people behave." - Ben Flanagan, In Review Online
"Informs and enlightens. Zauhar demonstrates the talent and drive that makes for an exciting look ahead to her future work." Bradley Gibson, Film Threat
"Zauhar’s writing is strong, reminiscent of the mumblecore independent films that blossomed in the 2000s. Has a profound understanding of the current plights facing our young college graduates." - Megan Robinson, Film Cred
A bare-boned independent drama with brief but meaningful touches of gentle comedy, Actual People is a poignant triumph, a simple but effective voyage into the mind of a young woman trying to find herself in a world that has somehow become hostile to those who refuse to find a place within its preconceived standards. As a debut, and a film in general, Zauhar’s work here represents an auspicious start to a very promising career for someone who is likely to become an essential voice in contemporary cinema, if this film is anything to go by.
