An inspiring independent film with a message of never giving up on your dreams.

I had the honor of watching the germ of an idea turn into a completed piece of work. I shared the excitement of each forward step this talented group achieved and felt the pain of each setback. This being said, The documentary do it for johnny truly exhibits the roller-coaster ride taken by Haylar Garcia and Darcy Grabowski. Haylar's compilation of the demanding quest is masterfully executed with humorous segues. As Production Manager, Darcy's unending devotion and ingenuity are inspiring. This documentary made me laugh and cry. I cried with empathy and with pride. I laughed with pure joy at the group's triumphs. The group's perseverance and dedication are to be admired. The directing and editing are both brilliant and witty. I recommend this documentary to all for its message of never giving up on your dreams.
