Fresh off his sold-out extended off-Broadway run, Zachary Oberzan presents the NYC premiere of the film he so lovingly predicted in RAMBO SOLO. Meticulously adapted from David Morrell's novel 'First Blood,' in which a lone man wages a one-man war against a sheriff and small town, FLOODING WITH LOVE FOR THE KID is in itself a one-man cinematic war. Shot entirely in a 220 square foot studio apartment in Manhattan, it was adapted, directed, filmed, acted, designed, and edited by one man. With a budget of $96, it is a profound testament to the animal ingenuity and triumphant spirit of the lone artist with no money, no resources, no nothing. Screened in theaters and festivals in Hamburg, Rotterdam, Brussels, and Groningen, the film has inspired, challenged, and thrilled audiences the world over. Writes Lauren Wissot of The House Next Door, "FLOODING WITH LOVE FOR THE KID is nothing less than an artist’s manifesto, a magnificent 'fuck you' to Hollywood. Oberzan has turned the tables on the powers that be, metaphorically shouting, ‘I don’t need your money, your talent, and I certainly don’t need your permission. Hell, I don’t even need to leave my apartment!’ Oberzan has beaten both Hollywood and the critics at their own game."

“An outsider-cinema masterpiece… Oberzan’s mania knows no bounds.”
—David Cote, Time Out NY

“Oberzan has not just walked the line between irony and sincerity, he’s erased it.”—Adam Green, Vogue

“One man’s pulp is another man’s perfection. A brilliant morsel.”—Charles Isherwood, New York Times

"Disarmingly effective – a guerrilla assault on the notion that high
production values are necessary for compelling
storytelling."--Benjamin Walters, The Guardian (UK)

“An absolutely amazing concept. Wildly creative and energetic.”—David
Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of First Blood
