I truly believe that Grade nine movie is the movie with the most potential to go places. The team already has a great technical set up. Other projects would squander a lot of the million dollars on special effects and securing locations. Grade nine movie already has a lot of those things and could really put the money towards making it an amazing film. Best of luck.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the cinecoup journey in this wrap-up blog, Jay. It has been absolutely amazing & awe-inspiring to see how your group has galvanized so quickly and professionally to bring Grade Nine to life. And I totally agree that the wild card for this project was finding young actors who would be believable in their roles. Who could have known that you'd strike gold with such a short time for a cast search! The stars must have been aligned in your favour because magic has been made and now so many fans now want to see this movie made! We believe in your story and vision, and the cast has brought the story to life. Your passion and commitment to that vision have paid off. It's a true story that proves Shoeless Joe's adage: "Build it and they will come." Thank you for building & developing your story, which we have all fallen in love with and are invested in seeing completed. That in itself is a great accomplishment, but we want more!

Thank you so Much Lisa! I love the field of dreams analogy. You kinda nailed it. This whole thing has been such an amazing journey. Folks like you are so valuable to our team and project. All feed back, good and bad, has helped us grow. Thank you for believing in our vision. I do feel a spooky sense of synchronicity. What ever happens, things will never be the same. I like change. Not to worry though, I will do my best. come hell or high water, to bring this story to life.
