I hope this film gets the exposure it deserves...It effectively validates these folks' determination to 'stay the course' for personal and global reasons. A big thank you!

We loved it! I want to show it to everyone.

Kevin is a talented story teller as well as a gifted cinematographer. It was visually pleasing, interesting and engaging. Thanks!

Great job Kevin! Can't wait to see the full movie since I may have to go back to the garden in this economy!

t's great to know some things don't change over the years. I've known Jeffrey Stonehill since 1960 something in Berkeley, and haven't seen him in many years, but Jeffrey is Jeffrey is Jeffrey. An article in Smithsonian about Big Sur (one of his places) had me thinking about him, and I eventually found your movie, and your site.

Thank you for finding him for me again.

How I can contact him? Email? Physical address?

Really beauitiful. Growing up in the "Garden" was a blessing of its own and one of the stongest parts of my life, living in the hustle and bustle of the "real world." It is fun to share this with my dear friends who love my stories of home and all our "funny names!" Thanks for bringing it to the light for others who didn't have dirt under their nails for as long as they could remember. Blessings!

I'm proud and respectful of what the 60's sensibility has brought to our times, but also unsentimental about the lessons we've all learned from some of the excesses.

The film presents a balanced view of this evolution of ideas... It's funny, sweet, coherent and I loved ALL the music!

Best Wishes, Sandy

We watched the trailer on your website and thought omigod those are our people!!

Some of us have never given up those values even though life has tken us to some very unexpected places and the world hasn't evolved the way we hoped it would...But what's true and good STILL makes sense. We looked for the movie on Netflix (no luck) and there isn't even a book story here in Salinas anymore much less a theater that would ever show the movie. (but who knows?) ...we are happy to support your film in this small way.

Kevin, spending many years on the land at Chesaw, having and raising my kids there is an experience that people can't fathom, but your film has taken our life and prestented in such a touching way, I think many people will open their eyes to the idea. Our children carry those values with them into adulthood, and now others can do the same thing. Thank you so much for the work and time that you spent. I just can't express the pride I felt watching it.

Good Luck to you!
