Awesome work!! Thanks a lot for using my remix, it sounds a little bit weird for my ears with all those edits, but it fits very well, I like it, the film is really awesome, I love it, it's a film with a great message, You should have contacted me, I would have given you an "aiff" or "wave" file of the song or even the multitracks, for a better sound quality. Great work anyway! Keep it up!

@damiandes89 Thank you. Sorry for not getting in contact with you before - it was a bit of a rush. Your mix is fantastic - definitely the best one out there. It really set the tone I was after. The film was designed for kids at our high school here in Canada - we had a student murdered here at the community centre in July (as depicted at the end of the movie) and I wanted to try to make something positive out of a random, tragic situation. I really appreciate the use of your music. Peace

@CcOoRrYy33 The intention of the story is to illustrate how seemingly small, inconsequential actions can sometimes set off a chain reaction with unimaginably tragic consequences. I was hoping to get people to think before they do something mean to somebody else. The shooting at the end of the film is based loosely on a real life tragedy that struck our community last year. Hope that helps explain it a bit more. Peace
