Wow! This is the second time for such a fast turnaround, from dream to polished product!
Good work, Sam Queen!
Today, I received my reward for being one of his forty-three backers. (He may have set a record on kickstarter for surpassing his funding goal by 260%. Perhaps that is a reflection of the belief in his dream.)
I am so very pleased! And since Google allows Bloggers to attach photos to their posts, I can show you what a professional job the writer-director has done on the finished work. Very nice!
The film itself tells a beautiful story of love found, love lost, and love regained - for two residents of an assisted living home. Yeah!!! Not two PYT's, no sirreebob! That places the story heads above a lot of the so-called romances on the big screen. it's so very easy to have a love story between pretty young things, especially as they have the physical lust to drive it along. But, for folks of age and very faded looks, there has to be respect as the driving influence. These characters in this romance far outshine the glossy stereotypes in the mainstream flicks.
I am so very honored to have my name in the closing credits.
So very honored to be part of this venture.
Thanks, Sam, for providing the opportunity to me.
Oh, and before I forget, here's the link to his video for all to enjoy:

And here is what he wrote in his note to me:
Faustina,
Enclosed is your Kickstarter reward for helping to fund my thesis film, Assisted Loving. I sincerely appreciate your generosity and hope that you enjoy the finished product! May the new year bring you many new adventures and buckets full of laughter!
Cheers,
Sam Queen
I do believe he is one of the most gracious folks I have not yet had the pleasure to meet.
Maybe I'll have the chance to rectify that omission one fine day.
Keep up the good work, Sam J. Queen!

Faustina, you are a beautiful soul for supporting the creative endeavors of others and for joining in the fun of being a human and sharing different perspectives of what that means with others.
