Title: "Don't Blink"...a film for the KUIU Film Festival
Post by: Guru on March 19, 2017, 05:53:00 AM
As most of you know I have always tried to share my son Cade with you all as he grew, and share our adventures...this is "growing a bowhunter", in film.

I can honestly say I was scared to death submitting this film. If someone would have told me I would enter a film festival a few years ago I would have told them they were nuts....but I really felt this was a story worth telling...

But that won't start till April       :thumbsup:      ;)

Good luck Curt.  It's well made and that sentimental factor just may put it over the top!!  The concept  hits every man where it counts and most can relate.  Good job buddy.

Excellent job! Even though I've never met Cade I feel like I know him. He is just a little younger than my son, but they have a lot of similarities. For one, a love for the outdoors! It's awesome that you have captured so many memories on video. That is a priceless peace of work!

Thanks for the journey.  My son comes in from Colorado on Wednesday.  We are headed to a knife making hammer-in over the weekend in NC.  Then off to southern Georgia for some hog hunting.  So much fun to enjoy shared passions together...tippit

That is the finest tribute to what it means to be a dad as I've ever seen.  I can tell you are proud of your son an I'm sure this wasn't intended to be about you at all. You should be very proud of yourself. You are the kind of father thats needed now more than ever. Having never met you I have a ton of respect for you.  My son is 9 and you've done with your son exactly what I'm trying to do with mine. Maybe the best film I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
