Maxim

MTV

RAW DEAL

The Miami Herald

Yahoo! Movies

The Miami Herald - Buzz Surrounds Young Producers of 'Raw Deal'
"In their cut-off shorts, baseball caps and rolled up sleeves, Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman look like the kids next door. Believe me, they're not."
New York Post - "Raw Deal" Furor Prompts Bidding Frenzy
"A bidding war erupted yesterday at the Sundance Film Festival as studios scrambled to buy a documentary containing shocking footage of frat-house sex, including an alleged rape. "
LA Times - Sex Case Documentary Sirring Up Audiences
