    Dusty Dukatz Producer

    The uniqueness of this film was the blending of two above the line people. Dusty Dukatz (producer/Director) and Michael Amundsen (Director/Writer/Editor). The brilliance of these two in their selection of other professionals that helped in creating a dynamic, heart felt and moving film is the reason for a perfect movie that is contemporary with the times of our day here in the U.S.A.

    Dusty Dukatz and Michael Amundsen effortlessly built on each scene with the excitement as if the situations were really happening to the actors who portrayed the different characters.

    In viewing this feature film, you feel as if Spike Lee was there giving instruction on how to film a barrio in urban America.

    You can not help but be moved by each and every scene in this production. You will want to see it over and over again.

    Too many times when you see a film you never think about those who created the piece of art. I encourage the readers here to look at all the various films Mr. Dukatz and Mr. Amundsen have created and seek them out to view as well.

    Dusty Dukatz is a name that you will see as up and coming in the film industry in the near future. Michael Amundsen is meticulous in his directing and editing also and is not to be taken for granted. These two individual will continue to create viewing pleasure for the public at large and make the film industry have fewer box office flops.

    Some of you readers know that Dusty was part of the direction in the making of "Water World" - Kevin Costner. Michael helped edit "Midnight Run" - Robert De Niro.

    Keep an eye on these two masters of film creation; you have not seen anything yet!

    Thanks Dusty and Mike for this timeless work. I enjoyed being there for the making of "Dream II"
