You captured the fundamental de-sensitization of our society in such concise fashion. You evidently have a passion for Enlightening people quickly! Keep up your very important work because the world needs you. You're also a very convincing actor. Where is that bridge?

Thank you for the kind words and positive comments. I hope there are others who feel the same way. This piece was written in respect to the zeitgiest of today's world. My wish as a person and a filmmaker is that people realize how lucky we are and truly think about, how we can make the world a better place. I will let you know of the location in a private message.

i was there that day at work near eaton center when it happened, but missed the incident by an hour or so.

it's sad to think that ppl have sunk so low as to do what they did that day

It seems as time goes on people lose more of their humanity. BUT i beleive we can change that. Thank you for the interest and comments. Good luck

The camera is a weapon, and you are one of the few that's a master!

I hope mine can hold a candle to it.

Thank you for the humbling comments. We wanted to tell an important story to the best of our ability with our incredibly limited means. Good luck to you.

Thank You. We made the film, hoping that it would affect people and make them think about our place in this complicated world. Life is rare and valuable, sometimes we take that for granted. Glad you appreciated our little film.
