I entered a film festival called the Out of Africa Film Festival, which is out of Kenya, and they sent me this message. 


Thank you for giving us such a brilliant and pleasant surprise and profound cinematography experience.

Well, I don't know about brilliant, but My Stretch of Texas Ground is definitely profound. It gets people to think long and hard about war, the consequences of war, and the ethics of it. And, I truly believe that no movie has ever been made that is more impassioned than this one. 

Those of us who were central to the project know very well that there are imperfections and shortcomings to the film, which is fodder for those who want to attack it. Still, what we did is a very unique accomplishment, and we succeeded, meaning that, despite its flaws, the movie tells its story effectively. And that's what matters. 

So, I thank everyone who was involved and everyone who has supported us. And I hope, for the sake of furthering peace, that more people watch the movie.
