My Uncle Maleika sent me this note after he saw the movie; "I quickly say that there are no superlatives that I can find to acknowledge and honor the film and your creativity; The dialogue dripped with passion, pathos,longing. I wouldn't have missed the journey that Veronica took for all the love in the world. Bravo! I hope Veronica tells us more down the road. And that is my mini-response to a great piece of work”.
