Приєднався 9 лип 2022
At its core, I AM AMERICA is a love letter to- and commercial for- all that is good about this nation and all of the great people that make up our rich tapestry. NO politics. NO hatred or negativity. NO fear or anger. In this space we tell stories that shine a bright light on PEOPLE, PASSIONS, and POSITIVITY. PERIOD.

Best wishes from UK
Thank you! Exactly where in the UK? Hope all is well there. Best, IAA
Very Very cool! At the core a great story about the academy. Seeing these young people flourish and grow is fantastic! Your cinematography and techniques for the interviews were beautiful. As a photographer, I especially appreciated the color toning and mix of shot styles. Thanks for the great work! I'm sure your channel will succeed with quality like this!!
Thanks so much, Curt, for your keen eye and positive feedback! Just trying to bring more optimism and joy to us all.
Great little documentary. Now I want to visit this place. Unfortunately it's a trip from Michigan.
Thanks, Tim. It’s an amazing theater. It’ll be here when you do make it out!
Your intro is insanely awesome
Thanks, Victoria! It’s an insanely awesome place that we share. It’s time we celebrate each other!
Great video I hope the theater 🎭 served from those horrible fires 🔥
Yes. Thank goodness! The fires spared Old Town Music Hall. Such a wonderful place. Bring the family!
I'll never forget the night in in November of 1995, when my own vocal band got to open for The Coats at Snow College. Then we all went back to by girlfriend's place for brownies...and _more_ singing! That girlfriend became my wife; 27 years and counting! Now, if only The Coats would decide to add a beatboxer! LOL! P.S. 5:16 - Love seeing Kerry with a Powell's Books hat! That guy is about as Pacific Northwest as it gets right there!
Yes, Kerry is about as Pacific Northwest as can be! Love all of these guys! Ed, Jeff and Ben too!
this was lit
Thanks! Much appreciated!
This looks incredible!! What a pro! Love the thorough deep dive into the academy! As an alum this was a real treat.
Thanks, Sammy. I loved doing that piece. I wish there had been a place like that for me when I was in high school!
Just makes me want winter back so bad
You've got it now, Chris. Enjoy!
This is awesome!
Thanks, Sam. Shine On!!!!!
I remember when they came to GSH to sing for Gpa Arno! Special memories would love to see them again💕🌺
