I recently went to the premier of A Tale of Persephone, a microbudget production by Fleem Productions, recasting the Greek myth as a magical realist modern day fable. The film does not (yet) appear to have much web presence, but it's a fine achievement for a very small budget, and I encourage anyone interested in Greek myths to check it out if you get the chance.

Before I launch into my brief review, I'll disclose that I am personally acquainted with the writer, Kom Kunyosying, and director/editor, Emily West Afanador, and have been cheering for this film for years, so I'm hardly objective. That said, I'll attempt a useful review.
