Press about WING, the fish that talked back:
\'WING: the Fish that Talked - A touching narrative short, reminiscent of Julia Kwan\'s Sundance 2007 family dramedy Eve and the Fire Horse (one of my favorite films that year). When a young girl\'s grandmother passes away she comes to believe her pet goldfish contains the woman\'s reincarnated soul. Dutch film-maker Ricky Rijneke has a commanding sense of cinematography. Definitely a film maker to watch.\'
