feedback
that
I'm
getting
and
whenever
the
people
come
up
to
me
and
say
that
they
are
really
looking
forward
to
my
film
that's
very
encouraging
and
acts
like
a
moral
booster
for
me.
We
have
worked
very
hard
for
something
that
is
not
considered
normal
as
the
film
has
rock
band
in
the
background.
I'm
also
very
sure
that
the
emotional
content
of
this
film
is
something
that
the
people
will
connect
with.
So
I'm
very
excited

looking
forward
to
sharing
this
movie
