Hi Robin,


The DVD actually arrived more than a week ago, but a constellation of events means my wife and I just got to view it last night. 


So, mainly: Thank You For Making It! For me personally, to watch a serious film of Newborough / Oahspe / Shalam is the answer to a dream of many years. So I'm perhaps biased, but I do feel that by any measure it is a well-conceived, crafted and executed piece of work. 


I do hope it will reach the wider audience it deserves. In the UK, I can certainly imagine a channel like the "Biography Channel" being interested? And the Kosmon Church in the UK should arrange a showing - tho as "believers" it may have a mixed reaction!


Watching your film, it does feel that Newborough was not satisfied with being a (unique and inspiring) "prophet" - he wanted to become Tae, and wrench Shalam into existence, perhaps way ahead of its natural time… 


Will watch the extra features tonight.


Thanks again, Robin.

Hi, Robin.


     Your production is a scholarly, factual representation in the best journalistic tradition.  It was very well done in every way.  Beautiful photography, elegant costuming, balanced interviews, fine reenactments with a good cast.  We thoroughly enjoyed it.  It was nice to also see our old friend, LesLee on screen.  The archive photography was a wonderful touch.  The production was obviously the result of an exacting and demanding schedule, and it shows in the fine results.  Thank you so much for doing it.


Sincerely,
