    Wow, that was great. I did not “get it” till the very end and then it gave me a great desire to watch it a second time to pick up on all the nuances I may have missed the first. I was trying to figure out why in the world you though this oaf in an artsy indie kind of film would appeal to me and now I can’t wait to show it to others. It has given me some ideas of ways I can share ideas with others. Very inspirational.

    Chris, you are absolutely right that there is beauty – and power – in good storytelling. At the end of the day, we’re social creatures and we love telling stories… in all their various forms. I think the key is to figure out how to best use all these new form of media to help us tell our stories better.

    Thanks for passing along this video… it is brilliant! I, too, wondered what was up and then had to go back and watch it again once I finally understood the story. Thanks.
