That is pretty awesome. I would go and listen to you if I could. But can't since it's in Florida and it's far way. But anyways get luck on the speech.

That is fantastic! You should be really proud of yourself. I don't know where I have been (must have been on another planet :mrgreen: ), but I didn't know you were producing movies. Are there any movies that are finished and can be watched?

I know that you have Asperger's and all. But if it was me. I wouldn't be able to handle doing a speech like that. I would freak out and get scared. But alex I'm proud that you are able to do this with no problem.
