LUST FOR LOVE Movie Review: A Charming DOLLHOUSE Reunion by Kristal Bailey
9 Feb 2014 - Screen Invasion
Being a Joss Whedon fan means you often will see his repetoire of actors working together again and in each others projects. Once Firefly ended, a number of the main actors did guest stints on Buffy and Angel while they were still on air. After Marvel’s The Avengers, his major follow up was the critically acclaimed Much Ado About Nothing featuring stars from his popular shows. But Dollhouse is the black sheep in the Whedon family, so I’m not entirely surprised that the indie film featuring many of the old dolls isn’t getting as much love as Much Ado. I was however surprised by how much I truly loved Lust for Love starring Fran Kranz, Dichen Lachman, Enver Gjokaj, Miracle Laurie, and Felicia Day – all Dollhouse alums.

"Lust for Love" Review by Sue Lukenbaugh
4 Feb 2014 - Something To Muse About
Despite the budget being small, this is truly a film worth watching. Enver Gjokaj plays arguably the funniest character of the film, Jake. If you didn't already know that Gjokaj has a knack for comedy, his performance will leave you wanting more of his comedic gold in future works. Additionally, Miracle Laurie brings warmth and brightens each scene in which she is present and the film's soundtrack seamlessly weaves the story together. Anton King has delivered a fresh take on the human experience. Indeed, Lust for Love breathes life into the increasingly tired and stale romantic comedy genre.

You’ll see that Anton is a master of making the most of a small budget. “Lust” is shot in and around L.A. which never gets boring.

27 October 2011 - Indiewire
"Living in LA, whether as an actor or filmmaker, you're always chasing opportunities. They're right in front of you, sometimes achievable, often not.

Anton King's Utterly Uncynical Romantic Comedy 'Lust for Love' by Stephen Saito
18 October 2011 - The Moveable Fest
Even in its title, there’s something so inherently sweet and pure about Anton King’s romantic comedy “Lust for Love” that it would seem to invite cynicism. “We were getting some location permissions the other day,” King wrote in an e-mail, in the midst of scouting in Los Angeles in anticipation of a December shoot. “And once the building owner noticed the title he had to call us back to check whether the movie wasn't a porno.”

'Dollhouse' star Fran Kranz talks 'The Cabin in the Woods,' 'Death of a Salesman' and Joss Whedon's 'Much Ado About Nothing' by Clark Collis
30 March 2012 - Entertainment Weekly
Lust for Love is a movie we developed with some friends from Dollhouse. Anton King wrote and directed it and we raised most of the money on Kickstarter. It’s sort of a romantic comedy about a guy whose lifelong sweetheart breaks up with him, because he’s sort of a klutz when it comes to relationships, and then he gets her friend to help him become cool in an effort to get her back. They’re editing it right now. I know they’re trying to raise more money for post-production and stuff. But it was very humbling and heartwarming to see how much we raised on Kickstarter.
