Dear Lois,
It was a magical night, the night of your movie preview. KJ
This film is going to be big.

I cried and laughed and felt surprised throughout the entire film.
People will want to the this film again.
I need to see it again.

Very moving. Not what I expected.
Ted Simon
I love the film. This is the third time I’ve seen the film. I love it more each time. It plays well to an audience, much better on a big screen.
Michael Bockner
Hi Lois,
Watch your doc tonight. It’s great! (my humble opinion) Very engaging and
a definite keeper for MM. Love the sound design and the multi faceted
journey.
I of course would have to wait
till any fests get their go with it but I look forward to screening when
my turn comes up.
…The latter is beautifully done, very moving and visually brilliant.
You’ve got something really good there. Way to go!

As programmer for a thirteen year long weekly film series I’m pleased to
endorse TOO MUCH HAMLET FOR ME for completion funds.
I found the story and it’s treatment unique. The story arc is so
unpredictable and the personal nature of Lois’ odyssey so disarming that
I know it will intrigue any audience and spark a lively discussion.
I am looking forward to screening as soon as it is available to me.

Lois:
I really enjoyed your film because I was able to travel the journey with you having daughters myself. It was poignant, touching and troublesome because of all the problems you endured. The story I felt was a mother’s story…
Brenda J.
Hi Lois,
Thanks for checking in and thank you so much for sending us your film.
I thought it was an amazing story – very courageous. And, very well done.
But at this time, it’s not something we can collaborate on.
We program a limited number of documentaries a year on HBO and Cinemax, making
the selection process extremely difficult.
I thank you again for sharing the story with us and wish you the best of luck with finding
a home for the film.
All the best,
Sara Bernstein
HBO
Dear Sarah:
Thank you… Once I have “completed” it, are you interested in another look with respect to acquisition?
Lois
Hi Lois,
I’m happy to look at completion if you don’t have a broadcaster on board.
Best,
Sara

Lois I saw the DVD yesterday. I must say that the quality of the images are very good, I expected older or faded colors, it has a nice voice off narration, good interviews too .
Nice extras like ilustration, globe maps, very emotional at first with the storyline between the sisters and of course you. Nice shots from the roads, local barrios and streets from Santiago and down south .
It doest have the classical script structure and at some point showed lots of realistic struggles within the team and the whole goal . Lets say some sponsor were honored and other potential partners were blasted.
I gave the dvd to our general manager I will get back to you with our suggestions in all media, theatrical, video and open TV .
Take care, and good job with the film. Aint too much Hamlet for me.

Dear Lois
Thanks for the chance to write about seeing and experiencing your film. It was very moving for me, your personal journey inside, and the journey outside which began as a wacky, frustrating, dysfunctional-group experience that later transformed into something solitary and profound. By the end of the film your inner journey and your outer journey had become one. This is the pure joy and brilliance of documentary, where the outcome can never be predicted, where life is so much greater, richer and deeper than art.
Death and grieving are realties that none of us escape from, and yet somehow we seem so alienated by the experience. I loved how the film bravely embraced these life themes–the anguish, frustration, pure madness and hilarity. It takes a lot of courage to make a film like this so shortly after losing a child—and that courage became a great gift to us all.
The mark of a great film is if I spontaneously think about it a day or two later. It means that the material has resonated in me. Too Much Hamlet For Me did this. What was most surprising however, was my eight-year-old son’s response to the film. I couldn’t find a babysitter and was concerned a feature-length documentary would not engage him. Not only did he sit through it totally rapt, but days later he asked questions about death and grieving. I was amazed that the film could touch a child so young. I think it speaks volumes for the story, how it is told, and how it reaches out to those who see it.
Sincerely,
Andrea Gutsche

Hi Lois,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the invitation to view your film.
As a seminary student majoring in counselling, it was very thought provoking. “Too Much Hamlet for Me” could be described as a therapeutic journey. I’m not sure, but the film may represent a unique genre; a “form” of narrative therapy – one which documents a woman’s struggle to become “The Author” of her story. Reflectively, “Too Much Hamlet for Me” could be representative of humanity’s efforts to move heaven and earth as every human being strives to control, interpret, re-interpret and find “Meaning” in our stories.
In addition, “Too Much Hamlet for Me” may help to diminish some of the isolation people often feel when they experience such a great loss. Our stories may be unique, but we all struggle to become authors of our stories.
Blessings,
Vicki Nishihama

Subject: Too Much Hamlet for Me.
I congratulate you on creating a feature documentary that I found moving and very genuine.
You have made a film with a “heart”, a rare and wonderful achievement.
I saw the film with an audience and noticed that I was not alone in my appreciation.
As a presenter of feature films I have noticed a big change in audience tastes over the past five years. Personal documentaries are being appreciated as never before. Your film has potential to be well received in our modern film world.
Stan Fox

Dear Lois,
I just wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience “TOO MUCH HAMLET FOR ME”.
This is an excellent film which deserves to be seen by people around the world. I laughed with you, cried with you
and felt a strong, uplifting ‘spirit’ by the end of the film. It is not easy to evoke these kinds of emotions from a movie audience
and I wanted to congratulate you for it.
I think this movie should be shown to all families. As a matter of fact, it
should be included in school curriculum as there are a lot of life lessons to be learned from this documentary. This movie has
“mass appeal” and I hope it, and you, receive the recognition you so well deserve.
Best regards,
Sam Rosenbaum

My Dear Lois, I viewed “To Much Hamlet” and was entertained and even more I was moved by the emotion contained in the subject matter. The Documentary was not the usual moving wall paper that I find in Canadian documentary’s.
After a career of seventy eight feature films and many documentary’s I can only strongly recommend that some organization somewhere will provide the necessary financing to finish “Hamlet” which will in my humble opinion reap profits and prestige.
On this matter I would appreciate a call from you.
Gerry Arbeid. Executive Vice President of Dream Catcher Entertainment.

Too Much Hamlet for Me was a strong emotional experience for me. The room was often filled with laughter and many hearts went out to the screen characters during the film viewing. I was quite excited by the film and told many of my friends about it. I think several were encouraged to consider the twists that life serves up for us and the wonderful liberation to be worked for in the mountains.
Thanks so much for the intimacy and emotional immediacy you offered us in this moving film.

To Whom It May Concern:
I got an email about a movie called “Too Much Hamlet For Me” in the
summer. I made a point of going to see it as in the past such experiences
have been lifelong memories for me.
I had no idea what it was about. As the movie progressed, I became more
and more involved in Lois’ life experience. The story had a universality to
it that made it relevant to my life experience. I was on that mountain.
I felt very close to her and her family and at the end, felt as if I
had feasted at a banquet-completely satisfied with my experience. I would
recommend this film to every generation. It is a family story, and a
hard-hitting message on how … (sic) can convolute life.
Sincerely, Katherine Jaconello

Hi Lois
During your visit to Toronto, we so enjoyed watching your film
“Too Much Hamlet For Me” a story of triumph over tragedy.
As everything seemed to fall apart, you fell together!
It was poignant, true, gritty and yes, funny.
Everyone should see your movie, it has so much to convey.
I was touched by it.
Hope you’re well and happy…
Love
Michele and Ken Worth

Dear Lois…
I would recommend your film to friends. It was raw and wonderful, and I
would urge you to continue trying to complete the film.
If I can be of further assistance I would be happy to help….. Judy Wells

…we think that you have a golden heart, the Bible says: “Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he or she is a new creation; the old has gone, the new
has come” I think that with the showing of your movie to the public for the
first time, you are starting a new life, it’s like a reconciliation with
life on the earth, and I thank you for not forgetting. Please, NEVER GIVE UP
.
Let’s keep connected. love, Gloria B.

Hi Lois, I really enjoyed screening the film with you. Very emotional and uplifting.
I have reviewed the budget and would like to present some revised numbers… based on what i saw needed to be done and helping where we can. I am concerned about the audio, and I think we can probably shorten this time up with some accommodation from the producer/director. As well, based on timeline I may be able to get some additional help on rates from our audio engineer and others. But lets cross that road when we’re ready.
Give me a call and maybe we can discuss.

I’m sure they are distilled truths culled from a very arduous process. I have a feeling it’s no accident that you reached out to me. This is going to be very interesting……

Your film touched me because it deals with loss and shows a heart grieving in the open. It is a heroic act to attempt such a thing.
The more I look, the more I see people with their pain and loss. I think life must be really all about how we deal with it. With or losses and the losses of others. I’m still working on both of these things.
Cheers

It’s a powerful film. There’s a sadness yet it’s glorious, elevating, elating. It puts into your heart the things we mortals can do that we don’t think we can do. It’s what audiences want to take away when they pay money.

Dear Lois,
I’ve not been able to stop thinking about your film, and the bigger story.
Your film is gold. A sculpture that just needs some final chipping away to reveal the most noble? version.
I’m almost in agreement with those who’ve said your film is done. It is but… the nugget needs polishing. Pardon obvious metaphor and comment.
Last night, it took quite a while too fall asleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about it…

“It took of courage and tenacity to pursue this project and you are to be commended!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“A work to tackle grief and to come out wiser and more loving, that is priceless – the technical details are not relevant to me. Lois, you are a very brave and fascinating person. The film was to me, about pushing limits, just as Lesley did in her life. Congratulations to you both and thank you. I teared up more than once.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Just had to work with what you have. Good save in the last ¾ of film, the tin cups work! Brave and honest to demonstrate the conflict scenes. Jaws scene was great.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Refreshingly different!! A Discovery.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I don’t tend to watch many documentaries. I found this one has many stories involved which makes it gripping and close to the heart. I think it is very important to recognize how the stories unfold – what was to be is not always (cycling expedition/family life personal) what it becomes (overcoming all adds to complete the ascent/losing a child early). Very brave and uplifting.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Profoundly moving. Your perseverance is an inspiration to everyone!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Blessings to you Lois.”
