Special Thanks

A special thanks to those folks who supported me in priceless ways to bring this idea to fruition:

Geoff W. Stirling, Ray Penton, Jr., Roma Arellano, Rob Dawe & Judy Anderson.

And to

Aphrodite Films, Avanti Pictures Corp., Abigail and Craig Eaves, Barbara Fong, Mary Lance, Ginny Renfroe, Karen Stewart, Greg Stirling, Julia Thudium and to ALL who have engaged with me both on and off camera to discuss Why Get Married?. May the conversation continue.

Making the Documentary

The main currency used to make this documentary was the generosity and good will of talented Canadian and USA filmmakers, producers, camera people, sound folk, and editors who helped me along the way. I want to thank serendipity and editor/tech whiz, Laurence Zankowski, for jumping in at a critical time and accomplishing the post production/final edit with good humour and skill. Thank you all for your inspiring contributions.

What I see very often is, it's not the fact that you get divorced that affects your kids, it's the way you get divorced...
