Hey St Fleur
Thank you for being the nwe kid on the block.

I saw your trailer and liked it. I can see some serious efforts in the making here. I also appreciate the fact that you asked Israel to keep it coming, I think he took it to personal.

I didn't mean to offend anyone, didn't see his name at the bottom, I just felt that I should say that it is time we take our time to do the rihgt thing.

We will never cross over if we do not treat our films the correct way, make one good productions and not too many bad ones. If we need the foreigner to watch our products, since they are so used to good productions, they will not have a chance to see the entire work...just like in the Producers, one singer fixing his collar didn't even get his voice heard because the producer giving him that audition felt that he wasn't into his craft not so much that he couldn't sing, matter fact he didn't even sing one word.
Our culture is so vast that we can trascend all that on the screen but if our production is bad, it will not be visible.

St Fleur, I was about to write to you regarding your trailer and ask you not to consider yourself as a small guy...your work will make its name in the community.

I would love to see every Haitian filmaker pushing to do good production opened to the international market.

If we continue to listen to promoters or guys selling video named movies, we are going to stay in the back of the Taptap...we might as well forget the international market.

Cheers, JR
