[Nick Peterson] is one of the best young filmmakers I have come across in a long time. His unity of vision is rare and gives me hope for the next generation of American filmmakers.

Nick Peterson's Yellow is a breath of fresh air. Amid the grainy, the gritty, and the grim--in short, in contrast to virtually every other American "first film" out there--Peterson brings the brightness, the brilliance, the wonder, and the mystery of poetry (and song!) to his work. He has the best, the most exciting"eye" of any young filmmaker in my experience. Yellow is visually delicious, acoustically dazzling, and completely original, fresh, and new in its sensibility. And it doesn't hurt that it is deeply perceptive and penetrating as well. It is an eye- and ear-opener of a film--one of my favorite "unknown masterworks" of the past five years.
