"A portrait of a true independent artist, refusing to quit, unafraid of failing.
​TRK may not exactly be the second coming of Mark Borchardt, but he's close."
- Joel Potrykus, Director of Vulcanizadora

"That’s what makes First Feature so endearing: friends and family may not have shared his vision, but they certainly admired his ambition."

"First Feature succeeds not only as a document of the making of Enduring Destiny, but also as the first chapter in that film’s inevitable cult legacy."

"In the tradition of Ed Wood, Lloyd Kaufman, and Tommy Wiseau, ​First Feature's subject (TRK) encapsulates the antipodean ideao, defying the rise of A.I... a celebration of youth, naivete, and the unquenchable spirit of creative fire." 
- Stephen Susco, Writer of The Grudge & Unfriended: Dark Web

"Not since Kid Icarus has there been such a great documentary about
​student filmmaker passion... and delusion." 
- Britta Erickson, Producer of Actor Martinez

"A must-see for fans of American Movie." 
 - Peter Kuplowsky, TIFF Programmer & Producer of In A Violent Nature

​"At the heart of First Feature and its focus, Thomas Reilly-King,
is something that will be immediately recognizable to any filmmaker or anyone
​who has strived to create something against impossible odds, an unwavering and uncompromising dedication to vision."
​ - Ian Keiser, Producer of Saint Francis and ​Ghostlight​
