Dear Faith,
I've seen mention of your movie on the H.A.M.B. in the past year or so. I am really impressed with the clips and comments posted on Nov. 4 -- it's great to see someone doing this. I've just donated some funds via your site/PayPal. (...) Keep up the good work!! Regards, Charley Hepperle |

Hello faith, I own 1956 2door chevy. Just put in a fresh small block. Being traditional I decided to run three deuces up top connected to an m22 rock crusher 4 speed. So I decided to google up 3 deuces and came across your movie in a link to chevy man I think. Please let me tell you I am old school and your flick seems to have all the right elements. And I am more than impressed that this comes from an up and coming female filmmaker! Can’t wait 2 see your movie. Please let me know where and when I can purchase a copy. Recently watched the California kid, and can say from the teasers, yours looks like a future car classic movie. Thanks for making this movie... Sincerely rocky |

Hi Faith,
We all had a great time Wednesday at the swing dance, especially Athena who will be emailing you tomorrow. It was tremendous! We are soooo excited about the movie like you wouldn't believe. My husband has all the guys at work googling your website and they all call when we are at the shoot to share in the excitement. You have done a terrific job filming, casting, wardrobe, etc. This will certainly be experienced by all who see the film/DVD. Thanks for the opportunity, Letty Skapinakis |

Hi Faith,
Billy Gibbons here. Dont get exited, Im not the one from
Texas, who's out of ZZTop with a beard, who's a great guitar
player with lots of money and loads of cool car's. No, I'm
the one from the UK, who's not out of ZZTop, without a
beard, cant play the guitar too well, got no money and only
got two cool car's. (Mind you, I bet the other Billy Gibbons
hasn't got a Rocket like mine, then again, he probably has)
Anyway, just
thought I'd drop you all a line to say a heart-felt "Thanks"
for making the movie, "Deuce of Spades" Even though I've
only seen the teaser, it blew me away!
You know what would be an absolute bonus for me....If you
got the word "Rockabilly" in the movie too. I'll have to
wait and see.
Thanks for
taking the time to read this and, more importantly, for
making the movie. I wish you the very best of luck and good
health to you all.
Billy (not out of ZZTop)
Gibbons. Cheshire, UK

De retour en France (et à la triste réalité...) Philippe et moi avons gardé un méga bon souvenir de ta rencontre ! On parlait encore de notre virée dans ton Ford 32 dans l'avion... En tous les cas, tu as tous nos encouragements pour la poursuite du tournage de ton film. Je te joins une photo prise durant cette soirée. A bientôt. Claude |

Hello Faith,
Just want to
say thanks for the amazing opportunity Kaitlyn had to
work with you last night. She had a great time, learned a
lot, and has now fallen in love with red lipstick! Please
keep her in mind for any future scenes as she'd love the
chance to work with you and your cast again. We both think
your work is fabulous and can't wait to share about your
film with other classic car enthusiasts as well as friends
and family. Thanks again and hope to see you sometime soon!
Best Regards,
Kathy and
Kaitlyn Jenkins

This evening I
came across a picture of you and your roadster when I
searched "Hot Rod" on Flickr. So I did a Yahoo search and found your site. And your "ticklers." Looks like good stuff. I grew up in San Gabriel and I was a Model A hot rodding teen in the 50s. And fuzzy as this old boy's memory has become, your video clips all appear to be spot on. Wish I was back in SoCal and able to help. (...) Guess I'll just have to buy a ticket or get the DVD. Good luck to you and your endeavor. Steve Hansen |

Faith,
I had a sense of place on the ranch where we were shooting last night. Like I sometimes do at the beach or in the High Sierra, our shoot yesterday was in an amazing location a place that had a power to it. The land itself , the trees, the surrounding mountains were beautiful, but so were the family members I had a chance to talk to. The barn and the stuff in it was fun, especially for a car guy like me. Best of all, of course, was watching you work. You are so intense and at the same time so caring. You drive yourself very hard. I'm sure people tell you that all the time. You are "tightly wound" as a friend said of me during my teaching days at CSUN. Along with this, however, you are so very caring for others, those whose lives you touch. Those around you carry a huge sense of respect for you and what you do as director, producer (and 50 other roles you take on as you make your film. Thank you for sharing so much of "you" with me. It is amazing to watch you work. (...) I want again to say thank you for including me in the shoot both two weeks ago and last night. It was a pleasure. Jerry is a special guy, as are many others whom I had a chance to meet briefly. He is able to reach out and leave others (like me) feel they are welcome and valuable in the filming. All of the people have respect for you and what you are doing. I would like to be of help to you in any way you might find useful in the completion of the film. That is with cars, of course, but also with anything else on the set such as production "chores" and the like. Please don't hesitate to let me know. All the best. Tom Potter |

First of all I would love to ride out to El mirage in the hotrod! That would be amazing so if we can work that out I would love it. Also the cast slideshow with our character name sounds like a great great idea but your always coming up with great ideas so it's nothing new. And thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to work with you on this and thank you for all the help and progress you've given to my career. Well thanks again for everything and I look forward to being on set again. |

Hi Faith, (...) I had fun being on set. One day maybe I’ll be doing what your doing. It was nice to see the car turn on with ok idling and give you one last shot even though the transmission had no transmission fluid at all. It’s a miracle she even moved. Me and my buddy Travis had a hard time getting a way to bring the car to the shoot but I’m a man of my word and knew I couldn’t let you down. That’s why I got a u-haul. The only car shows I go to are ones down here in orange county. I’m not sure how long it’s going to take to bring her back to life. I can’t wait to see a picture of the car through your camera. Thanks for the opportunity and let me know if you need anything else. I’ll be happy to help.

Hi Faith-
I still can't
believe that the narrow "Truck Driveway" you filmed on
today, looks like a two lane road in the film. It is totally
convincing. Seeing it in person, I was completely amazed to
see what you did to make that look like a two lane County
Road. I'm so glad I was there, because I never would have
believed it if I didn't see it for myself.
I wanted to
thank you for creating this Movie. Yes, thank you.
Remember how I
told you that "Good people attract other good people"? I think
you have gone just that, and the proof is the Cast and
Volunteers on Deuce Of Spades. I was totally blown away today
by how nice your Cast Members are, and the Car Volunteers who
attended today. Everyone is just soooo nice to talk to and be
around. I feel that is primarily your doing and you deserve
credit for it!
I think you have
a super Team, that you have hand-picked and assembled. As you
know, it's not everyone who will come out and work on a Movie
like this. Sadly most folks do not have the temperament to be
patient during filming, and understand that the process takes
a lot of time. Today, your Car Volunteers were outstanding in
that respect, especially AJ and Garth. I was very proud to
meet them in person today. Super guys!! (Great cars too!)
I hate to think
what would have happened if you had never created the idea to
do this Movie. We'd never have met and I never would have met
all these wonderful people. See how important your creative
talent is?
Thank you Faith!
Always,
Jerry:>)
p.s.- I'm glad
you didn't sell the major rights to Deuce Of Spades too. Your
not selling-out, tells me alot about you. I'm proud to know
you. Keep the Faith!! God is with you!

Hello Faith,
Just wanted to
say thank you very much for a great weekend. It's what I came
out here for, and I am still so excited to be able to work on
your film! It's amazing and a really fun cast you picked. Good
job this weekend, I hope you have a great week!!

Dear Ms. Granger, Thank you very much for the lunches this weekend and everything else. Michael enjoyed working with you and all the actors very much. Everyone was great and made him feel a part of the group. It was a very exciting and fun experience for him. We are looking forward to the 27th. If you need us for anything, please let us know. Thank you again. Theresa and Michael Wroblewski |

I'm going to
talk to one of my buddies and see if maybe he'd consider
giving up his day to drive my wagon out to El Mirage and be
there for the shoot. I'd love to see the "old girl"
immortalized in your film! Even if it's a quick 1 second "pan
by" shot in the distant background! HaHa.
I've been
reading your blog. I'm impressed with your drive and
diligence. This movie's gonna be a hit. You go girl!

Hi Faith,,, it looks like all is going good,,, congratulations!!!. Your talent really impresses me, and I’m sure a lot of others also. I watched the links,,, unbelievable GREAT!! Keep it up, “Yer doin’ good Kid”!!! I wish I was closer,, and a bit younger,,, I would be there in a flash. Also, all I have is my old Triumph dirt bike and a lot of memories. I would really like to be there. “Life is short man, when ya get a break,,, ya got to take it when ya can, sometimes you won’t get another for along time,,,, sometimes you won’t get another one at all,,,, ever.” (THE PARK BENCH) Really good,,, different movie,, but all sooooo true!!!! Wishing you the very best,,,, and again, I really wish I was there, it strikes a note in my heart, Hot Rods, M/C’s, El Mirage, etc, and warm summer nights and cool winter days. I just close my eyes,,, it’s all there. As always, I remain cordially yours,,, Dan Fink |

Hi Faith!!
What a rewarding day!!
Yes, I'm beat but it was a lot of fun as always!!
I'm continually amazed
at your dedication, drive and amazing vision for this film. Thank
you for letting me share your dream for the completion and success
of this film. I'm really enjoying it.
The more you tell me
about the plot, and the more scenes I see, the more excited I get!
It is AWESOME and you are a real inspiration to all of us who know
you. God Bless you Faith!!
This Movie is going places!!
Faith, you are doing
a super human job on this Film. I read your Blog and I'm

Hi Faith
Just sending a quick
note to tell you, thumbs up on your progress with the movie. I've
been following it on your blog. I'm amazed you haven't collapsed
yet. You've been stretching yourself pretty thin.
But, WOW....what you've accomplished! Very impressive! If I lived closer, I'd
be volunteering to help with whatever.
Hang in there & don't
over-do yourself.
Keep up the good work.
We're pullin for ya.

Hi Faith,
I wanted to write you a note and let you know I had a fantastic time working on set with you today. I had a great time making this scene, I'm sure it will turn out great! I've attached the pictures I candidly took while there, and thought you might like to see. Best of luck with the rest of DEUCE! Jared Welch |

Faith,
How busy you must be. I am quite impressed with all you've accomplished and I am also proud of you. What a great talent to write, produce and direct and be a star at the same time. I noticed how good looking the cast is, that's cool. I recently wrote a country tune called "A BROKEN MAN" thought maybe you'd like to hear it, being your lead man is A BROKEN MAN? I wish you much good luck with this endeavor, please keep in touch.
Fond regards,
Sammy Stray

Congratulations for your
film, the clips are very enticing... Will we be able to see the film
in France? I really enjoyed how you merged hotrods with opera, this is
a great idea, it reminded me of the Walkiri in Apocalypse Now, under
the helicopter attack...
This must be quite an adventure for you, a French girl making a film on American hotrods and filming, I assume, In California... You must be one heck of a determined lady... Well, I wanted to say hats down for your work and best of luck with your project, Eric, FRANCE

I have subscribed to your updates and with your permission would like to post updates on the website I own (fordbarn.com) in the Early V8 Discussion Forum. We have almost 4 million hits on the site so I am confident that it will help with exposure to your film. Will make a contribution after the first of the year. Good luck Faith!

Good morning, I hold neck to congratulate you on the splendid film that you are spirit to accomplish. Already by seeing not enough picture on the Internet site, I already have shiver everywhere. It is very important for us "European" to introduce the world of the hot-rod. I hope that your film will have a French version? Know that I you support of 100 % for your film. Bravo!!!!

I discovered your thread
just the other day and have been trying, as time permits, to read all
the posts and updates. As someone who grew up (?) in SoCal in the early
sixties, east end of San Gabriel Valley to be exact, this has really
gotten my interest! It's been a long time since American Graffiti and I
hope it will be just as successful. The cars, the cruising, the music,
it was a great time and a great place to be a teenager! Good Luck on
your project, I am looking forward to seeing it. Forum member - Clarksville, Ar |

You are doing what many
just don't have the balls to do (Even though you literally don't have
any). Hahaha Keep
it up and I will be waiting to see this flick 110%. All the bashers
would sooner watch that fast and furious crap, then a true hotrod flick.
It could be inaccurate, low budget, crappy quality, with bad acting and
heck even a bad story, but in the end, it is a hotrod movie that is very
rarely done these days, so if you flick does better then any of that,
then it will be a hit. Hmmmm, makes you think when everyone compares to
AG that was made how long ago, that it is time for a new one and a
hotrod movie done right meaning before some huge producer who doesn't
know shit, tries to make a hotrod movie and ruin the whole hotrod image
with some crappy corny story plot to make his million. I can see it
already, a high end hotrod movie with aluminum spoilers, neon lights and
NOS having some greasy saying he lives a 1/4 mile a time. Forum member - CANADA |

Faith, from reading all of
your posts, I can relate what your going through to how most of us build
a Rod. We start out with a dream or idea of what we want to accomplish. We tear it down and examine the individual pieces and see what is usable and what is not. We stay up all night going over each aspect of the build trying to determine where to start and in what order to progress. We make a list (mentally or otherwise) of what we want to accomplish each day, and we usually at best get half of it done. We start by doing what we have the tools to do and look for help to do the things we can't. As work progresses and we acquire more pieces and tools and gain more knowledge we start to see in our minds more of the finished project. We sometimes compare our project with others, hear opinions of how we need to do this or that, but realize that 'hey this is mine and although I want others to look at it and say "that's cool" we still want it to be unique in many ways'. As it starts nearing completion it usually takes on a life of its own where it starts to actually look like something. One of the hardest parts is finding a stopping point which many times is determined by budget. Its easy to over do this or that but in the end the finished ride has to have a balance to it. The look has to flow, it has to have a sound and heartbeat. Most of all we have to be proud of what we have accomplished which is to make the finished project much more that the sum of its parts. We then show it off to the world hoping that at least a few see it the way we do , understand the look we were after, and appreciate what we have accomplished. Forum member - Slaton, TX |

I've seen this thread a
few times over the last few weeks, and thought "Great, someone wants to
make a 'hot rod' movie. What castrated abomination is Hollywood going to
put out now?" I'm so sick of Hollywood movies, I almost categorically refuse to watch anything filmed here in the US. But, I read a post by HRG, and was hooked. So, I've read the whole thread. Anyway, I'm putting a link on thecarfarm's website; it gets about a thousand visitors a month, and these people need to know about this movie. |
