Praise for NEWCOMER:
“The fly-on-the-wall perspective places you in the audience as you bounce from one Seattle music venue to the next… The abstract, avant-garde vibe of the visuals takes over the screen and you forget you’re watching candid footage captured on a cellphone.” – Respect My Region
“For whatever reason, Seattle’s hip-hop scene remains one of the most slept-on rap scenes in the nation, regardless of the fact that it’s also one of the most diverse, talented, and in a lot of cases, formally daring. Gary Campbell applies his filmmaking prowess to document our bustling landscape of hip-hop artists, including Bruce Leroy, Chong the Nomad, DoNormaal, Perry Porter, and so many more.” – KEXP
