This film would never have come into existence without the support, encouragement and energy of the people who helped to create the film and the people who volunteered to be filmed or who gave us film footage of their births and precious moments with their babies. I am so grateful for all the wonderful gifts that came with this process, and for all the great things that this film has been able to do for families, mothers, dads, babies and children.
I especially would like to note that the interviews were given freely, and
the people we interviewed helped us to formulate and understand a deeper meaning of the ideas that we started out with. Everytime I look at the film or read the credits, I just want to say "Thank you, thank you, thank you" to all of the people who took time to help us make this amazing film.
