I saw your promotional video on Blacksmith. Great subject matter and the zero dialogue choice was spot on. How did it do??

Thank you, Amman. As of last week, it's been streamed in 90 countries through Amazon Prime Video, Filmzie, GuideDoc, FlexNet TV and, formally, Vimeo On Demand. My film distributor, Filmhub, recently dropped Vimeo as a channel. If you have Prime Video, you can watch it for free!

Hi Frank, First - love the name of your company, beautiful tribute to your pup! Secondly, I watched your first GOL sneak peek - the color is gorgeous!! Are there challenges you are facing filming with Super 8? I'd love to learn more about it in the cinematography lounge.

Hi, Shellie. Thank you for your kind words. Glad you like the first sneak peek at "Gardens of Life." The short answer to your question about shooting with Super 8 is - yes. The biggest challenge is the expense. (I'm currently seeking associate producers to sell sponsorships for the film.) The second biggest challenge, which is directly related to expense, is keeping your shooting ratio as low as you can, a feat that is often easier said than done.
