Sharing Some Comments
Sheila and I have been receiving a lot of comments, but they’ve gone to the mail
account instead of the comments section, so we wanted to share some of them
with you.

I lived all my life in Maine prior to moving to Arizona. This is a film that I would like to see, but do not know if it is going to be shown anywhere in the Tucson area. For many years I lived in the Chelsea area and I watched as small farms got traded for housing lots and the horses that my daughter lovingly tended for a neighbor simply disappeared. Please let me know if it is going to be shown here.

I was in the audience in Waterville Sunday night and was
thoroughly entertained by Knee Deep - I think it’s the
most authentically Maine film I’ve ever seen. The public
access/community television station I manage
in Hollis is located in a rural area of York County
not at all unlike Farmington. I’m sure the folks around
here would love to see this film - the issues are the same around here. If I purchase the film, would it be possible
to show to our audience? This is a farm community that has seen
better days and Knee Deep would surely resonate deeply
with our viewers. Thank you for your consideration and thank
you also for making a movie that was respectful to Maine’s
working class.
While we can’t yet release the film to local tv broadcast until we have
our domestic broadcast in place, we were very happy to hear somethng
that we have long believed:there is an audience out there waiting to
see this film.
We also heard from Gary and Sue Copeland that Andrew Robinson is
only an Assistant District Attorney, not the actual District Attorney
for Franklin County. Norman Croteau is the D.A. While we were already
aware of that, it’s nice to have people paying attention. Given the style
of our “lower-thirds”, calling Andrew “The ADA” would have been confusing,
which is why we referred to him as “The DA” in the film.
And last, the clerks from both the Franklin County Superior Court
and the Farmington District Court wrote in to ask where they
could obtain copies of the film. They'd heard the film was
a "must-see"!
We were happy to tell them that DVD's are now available from this site.
