Paul,
It's very cool watching you ride the wave. You're handling with grace and style my brother. I look forward to seeing the final cut. Keep fighting the good fight.
Producers in arms,
Los
Paul and Carlos,
It was great meeting you guys and I look forward to future collaborations. Paul you've got a great film and with the right edits you'll be rewarded at the festivals. More importantly you're doing what you love in a socially conscious way; this is the present and forseeable future of film. A few more tracks to check out: Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms", Johnny Cash and Dave Matthews "For You", and Richard Thompson's "Dad's Gonna Kill You". The last song has a lyric page on Richard's website that may provide a fitting end to the movie if it is posted like the poem you have in the intro. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work.
Jonathan
