His award-winning short spoofs THE BLAH WITCH PROJECT and ELIAN were seen by over 500,000 people through various websites including this very site, StrangePictures.com. Critical Kudos for THE PIG FARM: "A weirdly ingratiating, strangely sophisticated, gross-out gangster flick... Michael Lee Barlin's very talented, no budget first feature is smartly paced, and, for the most part, admirably underplayed." -Amy Taubin, Village Voice "This one was an impressive debut by newcomer Michael Barlin... laced with snappy dialogue and some good characters..." -Edison Carter, Aint It Cool |
