It works on so many levels. The talking heads work because the story is strong. The visual details are fantastic, I love the shot of Dail’s feet in the water while fishing, among others. The last video clip after the credits is very fun. The mixing of the stills and b+w and audio moments is right on! Congrats to the whole crew who worked on this. VERY INSPIRATIONAL for me. THANK YOU!

Fantastic work! I love the shots of the barbed wired around the prison and Dail on the dock. Beautiful composition. Pacing is great. Compelling story. I bow to you. This is the kind of work to strive for.
