“Sharff's films are beautifully shot and beautifully
colored. He uses pattern, form, motion and lighting to
produce deep emotional resonances and connections” — Matt
Bucy, co-founder of the White River Independent Film Festival.

This is a Door
2005
$20 (DVD)
"This is a Door tells
the story of three college-age brothers living in rural New
Hampshire, who struggle to adapt to an ever changing world...
The movie's main character, Rye, played by Jacob Crumbine,
is joined by brothers Wes (Gordon Gray) and Julian (Sean D'Angelo)...
When family friend Tomek tells the brothers he is engaged and
planning to move to Poland, Rye's feelings for Tomek are added
to the stress they are all facing with their mother's impending
death... [This is a Door] is a unique and honest story...
All of the actors turn in solid performances." — Joseph

Milk of Many Years
2004
$20 (DVD)
"Sharff's movie [Milk
of Many Years] tries to express the connections between
generations and the losses in his own life... Sharff's
movie is more than just his own story. It also uses elements
from a synopsis of a film that his father had hoped to
make. That story is an account of what may have happened
to his sister during World War II, when Stefan Sharff lost
his entire immediate family to the Holocaust. The film
relies heavily on the use of images, sometimes resembling
a dream more than a conventional Hollywood movie." — Dan
