WHAT’S BEING SAID ABOUT
HUNTING OF MAN

“Writer-director Joe Menendez's invigorating Hunting of Man is a powerful
suspense yarn as well as an affecting look at personal honor and brotherly
devotion. Mingling subtle filmmaking with outstanding performances…
it is one of the most promising debuts in years.
--CINEQUEST

 

“Joe is a natural filmmaker--the kind of real deal that only rarely emerges from 
the indie field
. Roni's work is also clearly up there on the screen in terms of
maximizing production dollars and resources and the cast did a first rate job,
Douglas Spain especially”.
--Mary Glucksman of FILMMAKER MAGAZINE

 

“Maybe the wartime world we are now living in makes us more receptive to a
movie whose central theme is the use of force to achieve a greater good…
Hunting of Man takes a surprisingly subtle approach to the subject.
In fact tackling the machismo culture of this Latin community
(there is not one token non-Hispanic in the film) along with the larger
issue of societal violence gives Hunting a unique voice”
--Miami New Times
 




















“…pic mixes sentiment and action… in this tale of childhood friendship soured by
crime, violence and revenge”.

LORDS OF THE BARRIO
(Originally entitled: "The Impostor")



This movie was made in 1995 for $10,000.
It wasn't released on DVD until 2002.
It's very rough, but it shows some occasional early promise for its director.
