Chris, it has been quite some time, and I believe that is a reflection of the fact that we've both been busy. I saw your Norms commercial...loved it!
It has been quite some time since I first shared with you our intention to make the sequel to “RETRIBUTION” (PIPELINE 1) which brought us second place in a nationwide film competition. I’m thrilled to let you know that after a considerable amount of time and much effort on the part of many, “PIPELINE Episode 2” is completed! I only ask 2 things of you if I may: 1. After watching the film, if you enjoyed it, please take a moment and pen a sentence or two, sharing with us your thoughts(on the Vimeo site). Also, tell your friends and family about it. The cast and crew who worked so very hard on this project would be most grateful. 2. We are currently seeking the funds necessary to make this and a few other equally provocative projects (different genres) into feature films and get them to the silver screen. Should you know of anyone who might be in a position to assist us in some way, I can be reached through my MySpace profile. I thank you again for your time and efforts Chris. Stay well.
