    Thank you for this. The way you've created the film, editing together all the overlaps of news and video clips, is so beautifully talented and it evoked so much emotion. There are a lot of people who need to see this.

    I'm glad you found it powerful. It's a message that needs to be shared and I'm glad I helped to share it.

    This is brilliant, cathartic. I absolutely love Simon and Garfunkel and their songs were beautiful juxtaposed against the boredom and chaos of this crazy time. Wow. I am seriously impressed.

    This is beautiful. I love the way you blended together everyday life with the tension of this fall’s news. Such emotion. This is truly a work of art, and that is not easy to layer together film like you did. it deserves attention! Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed this!

    This film tells you how much the news has harassed us so much, almost to the point where we just can't take it anymore.
    I think you have done an excellent job, and I hope this film can reach us all so we can just snap out of it.
