Rating: 4/4 -- Like Potrykus, Burge shows great daring, his performance a high-wire act of ballistic anomie and genuine empathy; we may find Marty repugnant, but only because we fear ending up like him, a disillusioned hellion desperate for a way out. Full Review

Marty seems intended to exemplify modern American discontent, but a slacker hero is false to this political moment of digital entrepreneurs. His immature "rebellion" patronizes the very audience...that the young adult Marty resembles. Full Review
National Review

Tough to categorize, tougher to shrug off, "Buzzard" firmly places young indie filmmaker Joel Potrykus on the ones-to-watch list. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Burge is phenomenal here, giving a memorable, well-rounded performance. His take on Marty is not your typical cinematic slacker: all cool detachment and naïve apathy. Full Review

BUZZARD is a clever commentary on a capitalist system of insufficient checks and balances that allows a creature like its title character to hover over the rest of humanity, looking for something, anything on which to feed.

Product Description:

Joel Potrykus' black comedy BUZZARD stars Joshua Burge as Marty, a man full of rage toward his bosses and the world at large. After stealing from the company he works for, he prowls the streets of Detroit looking for trouble, armed with a Nintendo Power Glove that would make Freddy Kruger proud.
