John Steele loaned me an old 16mm camera and I began learning to make films. Mike Kohut introduced me to Grace Garland, who was a professional film editor and she helped, until handing me off to Dave Kelley, a Detroit film producer. He brought in Bob Jackson to write the script. Too many others assisted in diving operations, post production, etc. for me to name here so be sure to watch the credits. When completed it won a Bronze Award in the documentary category at the International Film & TV Festival of New York. (more backstory can be found in this interview)

There were some technical issues so it had to be recorded by putting a camera in front of their computer (sound is weak, so turn volume up).
