“There are moments in 'Some Night' that feel like a Cameron Crowe film. Lots of heart and soul."

“Director Enrico Banson has tapped a plethora of positive energy in his tightly directed production. Banson, also a filmmaker, added cinematic influences such as a tiny treasure chest as a light source and a very funny bit with a television.”
Theatre Critic, East Bay Times (Review for 'Amelie,' Fall 2022)
“We give Enrico Banson and Lumos Films our highest recommendation. They are hard working, creative, and great collaborators. They combined efficient professionalism with great senses of humor. Lumos filmed and edited a promotional video for our show "Hamlet’s Big Adventure! (a Prequel)" and we are delighted with the results.”
“Enrico Banson, who seamlessly directs the 105-minute "The People Vs. Mona" and inserted tons of unexpected schtick, doubles as an extraordinary musical director who's onstage with his electronic keyboard throughout. It's exciting that the latest incarnation of "Mona" is here. It would be hard to find an Actors' Equity show that's better!"
Theatre Critic, SFGate (Review for 'The People Vs. Mona,' Fall 2023)
“From our first conversation with Enrico Banson to the final 10-second video edit, Banson and the Lumos team provided excellent guidance and follow-through, and were very responsive to our input and request. They gave constructive advice on the script, shot video that conveyed our storyline and mission, and brought their dynamic creativity to the editing process. The final video exceeded our expectations."

“The subtle direction by Enrico Banson leads us in new directions. We are led to new ideas and new resolutions by the highs and lows in their subtle and intellectual debate. The play flows by like a hypnotic conversation between two wonderful, opposed characters."
Theatre Critic, Theatrius (Review for 'Freud's Last Session,' Fall 2024)
“Seminar challenges and delights, as we follow the highs and lows of students and teacher. Director Enrico Banson displays firm control of an intricate plot, balancing complicated relationships between characters."
Theatre Critic, Theatrius (Review for 'Seminar,' September 2025)
