    Press Quotes

    “Firefighting and fire starting get the noir-camp treatment in Adam Szymkowicz’s INCENDIARY, which tackles the whimsical dilemma of star-crossed lovers in the arsonist and arson-investigator fields … this nutty love triangle of boy, girl and inferno is charmingly original and genuinely suspenseful.” —Time Out Chicago

    “Hilariously ornate in the best world-weary, film-noir fashion.” —Chicago Theater Beat
