"This place,
Quiet,
Filled past the brim,
Heavy with memories,
I thought were dreams,
A way of life,
A childhood,
Familiar,
Close.

And I'm grateful
For it's with old eyes
I experience this. . . . . . . . . .new.
These are my travel rewards
from American Express."

Your work is the next level of cinema Mr Stanley! I wish I was the first person to say this, but it seems that I'm not. You're the next big thing! You're the next Spielberg! I hope you see that! There's an audience craving your work! Make a full movie man! You are definitely Oscar worthy!
