PYRITE -- Talking It Up!
"A powerful film..."
-- The Forest Park Review
"PYRITE should be shown in high schools as a teaching tool about race and drugs in the big city."
-- Moondance Film Festival
“PYRITE is a very well-written independent film... and actually there's a strong suspense element to the story that's probably a bit overlooked, but the moment in the film when the boys step off that train, well, you'll see...”
– Neil D., Lockport, IL
“Director Eric Battersby’s use of Chicago as the backdrop for the film, with the L train and contrasting neighborhoods, makes the city an integral character itself. That alone makes PYRITE worth a look..."
-- Allan M., Esquire
"A compelling story filmed with an edginess that keeps you engaged throughout..."
-- R.Langlois, Multimedia Producer
“PYRITE presents delicate subject matter from an objective lens, and that's what makes it so captivating. Eric Battersby lets the viewer think for themselves, which is a rare gift.”
– Setarae B, Screenwriter, Arizona State University
“It's really no exaggeration to say that Eric Battersby has perhaps the strongest moral compass I've ever seen. If he's stepping out to change the world, not only do I know he won't let us down, but I also have complete faith in his honor and integrity. From PYRITE to THE WALK A MILE PROJECT, for any issue Eric takes on, we're in good hands.”
– Rodney Smith, Founder of Helping Hands For Freedom, Phoenix nonprofit organization
