Thank you so very much for your beautiful film. I saw it at the Sebastopol, California documentary film festival. Your film brought me joy and peace. Fine craftsmanship combined with respect for nature and our heritage is not easy to find in America. I appreciated also that you came in person to answer our questions and the beautiful traditional-style clothing you wore. It was an honor to be there.
Thank you for watching.
I was very moved when I heard your applause.
The people of Sebastopol have a deep understanding of art and are very kind.
I’ll come back with a new work.
