    As an AOD member, a 9/11 victim and a Cancer survivor, I found the Doc so moving. Thank you Mark. It is films like this that reminds us of our humanity and reminds me of the John Lennon phrase "Life is what happens to us when we are busy making other plans."

    As a storm chaser and filmmaker whose sister passed away from cancer last year, this story struck deeper than I think I could express. Thank you for creating a storm chasing documentary that moves beyond the adrenaline of an encounter with mother nature, and delves into the heart of the subjects showing the very real and oftentimes difficult conflicts that come with this lifestyle. You captured the awe, terror and complex emotional dissonance of this story beautifully. Well done.

    Mark, this is your finest work yet. Everything from the title of the film to the second story with Tirzah is just masterfully intertwined. My expectations were completely turned around. I sat down to watch a film about tornadoes, but you told a story about family, and that was so much better than anything I could've expected. Huge props to Lewis for the excellent edit. This inspires me to tell even more compelling stories than before! Thank you for this film.

    I've never heard of these storm chasers before nor heard of their families, but I genuinely breathed a sigh of relief there at the end when it said his fiance had been declared free of cancer. This was a very good documentary and I'm now a subscriber.

    Amazing film. I’m an avid photographer and I just completed my chemotherapy for colon cancer and non-Hopkinson lymphoma in Calgary. I travel to Saskatchewan a lot for abandoned photography and see the storm chasers. Hope to run into you guys one day. Please give my best to Tirzah.

    Jeeze... I did not expect to cry when it came to the scene with his fiance and him cutting her hair off... She's gorgeous, he's a lucky guy, and she's so lucky to have him be so caring. This story really fucking got me. Knowing how much it means to have someone who believes in you. How much it means to someone to have family and be proud of the people around you, not just for yourself.
    I've always wanted a business partner, and someone to love and support mutually. Something always gets me when I can see that love and that support. I yearn for it deeply. I know I'll find someone who loves me and supports me back one day, and it's not everything I'm looking for... But the ability to share, grow and live a wonderful life is all that you really can ask for.
    Thank you Mark for inspiring your students to learn and create and share. Thank you Chris and Ricky for sharing your story.

    Very touching story and some beautiful storms! Tirzah should know that, she is gorgeous with a shaved head. The circumstances of why she did it was unfortunate, but most women can't pull that look off. Ricky is a very lucky man in so many ways. Your family is blessed in so many ways. Your story will give hope to others and I'm glad you both decided to share this personal and difficult story, and see that there will be more memories made. Bless your family.

  • @JakubChlouba

    I loved it! I thought I'm gonna watch an action packed doc about tornado chasing and instead watched an even better doc about life and values. ❤ My favourite moments were how you introduced the second story of Tirzah, and how she supported and encouraged Ricky when the tornado was forming. You can tell that they have a very strong relationship and respect each others callings.
    Big thumbs up to the Lewis for editing, the shot of Tirzah's tears and then cut to the rain drops on the window got me.
    Awesome doc guys :)
