"Co-written by King and Dani Valent, this sees real and imaginary landscapes merge as a solitary satellite mapping engineer (Foster) charts the Armenian countryside with an expatriate art photographer revisiting her (Azabel) homeland."—Eric Lavallee for ioncinema.comhttp://www.ioncinema.com/news/id/4234

"King’s careful contemplation about storytelling, mapping, and their limits in cinema are directly of a piece with the explicit mapping themes present in “HERE,” and organically inform the concurrent projects that his collaborators and he have developed around the narrative."—Basil Tsiokos for indiewirehttp://www.indiewire.com/article/futures_filmmaker_braden_king_is_here/
