REVIEW of Resonance directed by William Stancik
William Stancik is not your typical filmmaker. There are no elaborate sets and costuming. No
cast and crew bringing to life huge dramatic spectacles. Instead, he takes an idea or concept
and twists it into a pretzel, weaving it carefully through the most vague and abstract
narrative. Think The Matrix meets Monty Python’s Dead Parrot sketch. You may get it… you
may think you've actually got it. The truth is, you don't have a clue what you've just seen and
that's the beauty of Resonance. All you know is, it was pretty cool.
I won't pretend to tell you I know what this film is about, but what I managed to gather is,
Resonance is the story of one man who teleports through sound frequencies in search of
another man. The film opens with Ulysses standing in a meadow, ringing a bell. In the next
scene we see his son Blaine, played by Alex Wood, riding a bus or train in pursuit of
the "Frequency Man". This is something he's been doing for years. The sequence that follows
shows Ulysses with a rifle in hand, sitting next to his friend Howard on a couch in a meadow.
Ulysses strokes his rifle barrel as the two are discussing why someone would send Howard an
artificial va**na through the mail. Is it bizarre? Yes, of course. Does it make any sense or
relate to the film at all? No. Is it entertaining? Absolutely. I watched all 20 minutes of this film
with a grin on my face.
Stancik chose to shoot most of the film in front of a green screen. There are a few focus issues
and glitches in the audio, although the dialogue is clean and easy to understand. There are
some rather absurd moments, particularly when Ulysses is with Howard, discussing a Moth Man
he had seen and wondering whether it was domestic or possibly an alien Moth Man. He also
wonders if it could have a penchant for human heads. He considers, if he himself weren't
human, he might be tempted to eat human heads. Is there a deeper meaning to all this?
Possibly, but I swear I don't see it. I just shake my head and snicker. I, personally, find Stancik
one of the funniest writers of dark and absurd humor I've ever come across. I also love his cast.
Joe Zumba and Bennie Rockum (playing Ulysses and Howard) have to start their own online
series where they do interviews from their couch in the meadow. Joe stroking his rifle while
Bennie describes what bizarre items he's received in the mail that week.
Alex Wood has star quality. It’s sort of a deadpan Jonah Hill thing. He brings nuances to his
performance that keep the audience watching, even when there's not much going on. I didn't
fully get the meeting between Blaine (Wood) and Kenneth (played by J. Gabriel Wagner)
towards the end where Blaine finally catches up with Kenneth, though Wood’s expression and
delivery was actually priceless. He doesn't really do anything, he just has a look. Someone
needs to introduce him to Seth Rogan and James Franco. He'd fit in perfectly with those guys.
There's not much given in the credits other than listing the cast and those who provided
additional footage of Texas and Brazil, which is where Blaine ends up in his search for the
Resonance Man. I assume Stancik assembled the film and did all the post work.
Resonance, like all Stancik films, is guaranteed to build a cult following. They're funny without
being over the top silly. They're dead serious about being... not serious. They're the perfect
essence of desert dry wit. That Peter Sellers brand of Clouseau that is magic.

Check this out! REVIEW of Booth directed by William Stancik
This is the second William Stancik film that's come across my desk. The first was a
strange and bizarre exploration into something that resembled The X Files on L*D. This
second project is all that and more. Booth is simply hysterical. It's the story of
John Wilkes Booth... the 5th
! In 1963, while writing a book about his misunderstood
ancestor John Wilkes Booth the 1st, he happens to be chatting with his next door
neighbor (none other than Lee Harvey Oswald) around the time of the
JFK assassination. The two are discussing cherry ice cream and how killing Lincoln
may have been an unfortunate error in judgment, but should never have eclipsed
Booth’s brilliance as an actor. This is what Booth the younger wants him to be
remembered for.
With only four characters in this film (five if you consider J. Gabriel Wagner playing a
double role), it didn't take long to recognize that this is the same group from Resonance,
which made it all the more entertaining. Alex Wood plays Booth and J. Gabriel Wagner
is Oswald and it is impossible to watch these two discuss Russian ice cream or how
much the Russians love Lincoln and that he would have made a great communist had
he not been assassinated, with a straight face. The chemistry between them is perfect.
Both deliver brilliant deadpan performances. How they managed to stay in character
and get through these scenes is the real mystery.
Joe Zumba (Agent Sikes) arrives at Booth’s door, reminding me so much of the laconic
and enigmatic Patrick Warburton. He has questions about Booth’s neighbor, Oswald.
"I'm Agent Sikes, I'm with the government. Interesting outfit." "I'm an actor. I was just
rehearsing." "Are you leaving for Hollywood?" "No." "What about your neighbor? Is he
going to Hollywood?" "I don't think he's going to Hollywood or anywhere else. Is going to
Hollywood a problem?" It’s just the most ridiculous conversation done with totally
serious delivery.
Booth's conscience wrestles with Lincoln’s assassination. In a nightmare, he receives a
visit from the dead president (played by Bennie Ruckum) and they debate over what
a "P***y Willow" his great relative was. He believes their dispute should have been
settled with fisticuffs. There is an amazing scene with Lincoln showing his fight moves.
Once again, Stancik relies heavily on green screen. There are technical glitches with
focus issues and spots where the background is less than convincing, but that is the
charm of a William Stancik film. Everything works.... well enough. The magic is in the
writing. This is absolutely one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. Stancik
films play out like a sketch, reminiscent of Monty Python or Albert Brookes delivering
the flavor of old school SCTV. There are technical issues, but who cares! There's not
much moving around, but that's not the point. This is just really well written stuff served
up with the best deadpan delivery and all the over exaggerated eyeball rolls, fake
Russian accents and painfully long pregnant pauses you could hope for.
The cast is great and it's obvious these guys love what they do. This is brilliance in its
simplicity.
