Thanks for joining the conversation. I feel bad that my review of your film was a little tepid. I know how difficult it is to make a movie and I respect the amount of effort and passion that you put into your film. And, like I mentioned in my review, I think I was in the minority. Everyone I spoke to after the movie talked about how much they liked it. In addition Matt, the programming director for the FFF, listed it as one of his “must see” films at the festival.

What I did love was the Q & A we had with you, via Skype, at the end of the film. Your comments really helped me understand the creative process you went through in crafting this film. It was a lot of work by a lot of people who were truly committed to the process and passionate about the topics explored in the film.

Regardless of the artistic merit of the film, the topics of dealing with family dynamics–particularly about LGBT issues–is an important conversation for our society today. As you point out, to that end your film offers a great starting point for an even larger, and more important, dialogue.

I wish you success and please keep me posted on your upcoming projects!

PS: LOVED the Mickey Mouse ears you were wearing during the Q & A. Very appropriate for the audience and a nice touch!

I played William in the movie, and I wanted to thank you for attending the movie and the review. I appreciate not only your feedback, but also that you chose to include some other snippets of audience conversation.

As I mentioned in the Q&A, I can only hope that this film serves as a conversation starter for people to explore these themes, whether through self-reflection or in dialog with others. Your review takes place in that larger conversation stream.

Thank you again for your thoughts.
