Hi Faith,
It’s hard
to believe that you, Faith Granger accomplished making this
master piece, “ Deuce of Spades “ primarily by yourself. You
are a great talent. All the actors
played their
parts superbly and are to be commended also. It was as if
they each were born to act out their particular parts in
this movie. All the songs were appropriate
for the era
and the music was powerful. Especially the organ. It was
chilling. I’ve watched the movie 5 times so far and each
time your emotions run from one extreme
to the other.
I say this because I didn’t want to say I got teary eyed at
times. We are to tuff for that you know ! I wasn’t the only
one this happened to as my friends had
to get their
hankies out at times also.
I know
it’s been said before but this movie is so indicative of the
days that we lived back then. The cars, the good looking
“chicks” and the drag racing after we had
some food at
our favorite hang out. Those were the days and in my opinion
will never be lived again. That’s why this is such a great
movie and means so much to us
that lived
them back then.
Thanks for
making the movie and hope that a “ Deuce of Spades Sequel “
or what ever you name it is in the works. Guaranteed I will
purchase a couple. Love it.......
Thanks again.

Hey Faith,
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your movie. I'm 71 years
old and I've been a hot rodder all my life and couldn't believe how
accurate the cars were. You did a great job and we're going to order the
DVD as we'd love to see it again. Good luck with your next film and we
look forward to seeing it.
Best of Luck,
Ken Mayabb

I live in France, and
I've just discover your film and I have only two words: Thank you.
It was a wonderful
experience, that's what cinema must give us, the sensation that
these two hours weren't lost. I had goose bumps during the scene
between Johnny and Bettie. The actors were perfect and so
charismatic. Thank you to remind us that cinema is not only specials
effects........but first and foremost, a story.
And what a story!
Thanks again and good
luck.

Hello Faith
I cant believe how
lucky I was to meet you yesterday, what serendipity...Im an avid fan
of Kar Kulture & Hot Rodz and having lived in LA (IM originally from
DC), so You and your car were a welcome sight for me....and
definitely made my day.
Im sure you meet so
many fans/folks but I was the guy (in mostly black) talking to you
outside of the US Patent Office in Alexandria, VA around 5pm. I
went to your movie website and not only is the car amazing but you
are very interesting person and well accomplished.
I cant wait to get my
DVD and I wish I had known about your tour, hopefully whatever
screening in DC there was, was a great success. Thank for being
you and making American Car Kulture with your unique background even
more amazing...keep on burnin & gear jammin with your tri-motor. Be
well.
Cheers

As an owner of many a car over the years, some really became part of
my life and my soul. Your film documents that love and bond so
well.
The detail of the film scenery, the true locations, and the period
props really took me back in time.
The authentic locations and real world cast members were natural and
outstanding.
It was hard for me to put a finger on what I liked the best, but the
photography and musical score is outstanding as well.
Thank you so much for producing such a great film.
Deuce of Spades is a must see.

I am 54 years old, and you
made me cry. I was hooked in the first five minutes. The cars were
great, but the story was off the hook.When I ordered my dvd I didn't get
it signed, I had no idea how much this movie would move me, so I hope I
can get another dvd to keep forever, signed and never opened.
THANKS for making me
cry.

Dear Faith,
I just returned home a short time ago today, and found myself caught up
in deep thought after seeing a movie you had created. It was earlier
today while I was visiting a friend of mine when he had handed me a
movie called 'Deuce of Spades', and asked if I had seen it... I told him
no. He then asked if I had about 2 hours or so to spare as he insisted
that I see the movie. I nodded and agreed so we both sat down and
watched the masterpiece. To be frank, im not a big motorhead, and i
thought the movie was going to be entirely based around such.... but
then realized that wasn't exactly the case. As we got into the movie I
began to realize that I was becoming pretty involved in the moment as
the movie was taking turns in different directions. By the time the
movie had ended I began to become slightly embarrassed by the fact that
I was shedding a good deal of tears towards the end, and didn't want my
friend noticing my reaction or sudden unexpected emotion. For me at that
point, trying to contain my out pour wasn't so easy in trying to
disguise, and do think he noticed at some point but remained quiet.
I was really truly touched by the movie on many levels and had to shake
my self straight once the movie had finished. As I was ready to leave
his place, it was then when I shook his hand on the way out and thanked
him for showing the movie. All in all... it made the rest of my day in
fact, and really made me realize the brilliance that had gone into the
film. I want to say "Bravo" to you... for such a well crafted
masterpiece, and I do hope that you continue making more films as I feel
you have gift for this type of thing. I got home here and found your
website and really had the urge to write to you, and to try to best
explain my reaction to your film.... and im sure glad I took the time to
write as doing so completed the rest of my day....
Once again, thank you for taking the time for making the movie and god
bless you very much!!
You have most certainly made my day...
Sincerely,
Sean B.

Dear Faith,
Coincidentally we met you in a North East
Minneapolis neighborhood when we walked by a small
hot rod event on June 4 '11.
We chatted, you told about the car and the movie and
we got a copy with your signature.
Back then we were struck by your story, your
dedication and your energy.
Today, on a rainy July Sunday morning in Holland we
watched it and were moved by it.
You made a true beautiful gem, with passion and
great sense of detail. Everything comes together and
fits perfect. The story with love and drama, the
pictures, the music and the connections between the
people, the fifties and today.
Thank you Faith! You are an amazing person, it is a
true privilege to have met you.
All best!

On the Deuce of Spades You did
such a great job on writing the script casting the
movie, directing it, shooting it and starring in it.
My hats off to you. It shows what a great
opportunity we all have in this country, with a
Dream, a lot of imagination a lot of hard work and a
lot of volunteers! I ordered the Deuce of Spades and
watched it many times over. In my daily travels I
spread the gospel of your movie, I know most of the
Hot Rodders and Drag racers in the area so I talk it
up all the time. “ Have You Seen The Deuce of Spades
yet? “I am looking forward to meeting you at the
Milwaukee Masterpiece on Sunday August 28 2011. This
car thing and love affair with Hot Rodding is a lot
bigger than we all know, it consumes all of us in
different ways but we all love it!........... Be
careful on the road and God Speed to you!

Hello Faith !!!
How is the Roadtrip going? All I see on FB are
wonderful things and how the movie is just taking
off !!!!! I used to tell people that Robert
Rodriguez (you know who he is - i'm sure) - was my
"hero" because he was such a maverick and broke the
"molds" to pursue his goals and dreams - starting
with - nothing and from humble beginnings, but ... i
may have to change that and restate it to being
YOU. You're prettier anyway, LOL! but true - all
of it is true. You are really an inspiration over
and above all else. So happy to see the DOS on
screen in Vegas !!! et al.

A friend
of mine loaned me the movie DEUCE OF SPADES
yesterday. I took it home and watched it last night
and was blown away at how good it was. I was born in
1940 which makes all my teen years in the 1950’s. I
had a 1951 Mercury and a 1934 Plymouth hotrod. This
movie took me back to all my memories of those years
spent with my buddies at the drag strip and on the
two lane highways late at night. Your movie and the
actors were amazing. I will be going today to
purchase my own movie to keep for the remainder of
my days.
Thanks
for taking us old guys back to a time when things
were so good. Keep up the good work.

Dear Faith,
I recently purchased a
copy of your movie "Deuce of Spades" and after
watching it twice now, I have to commend you on
an extremely well made movie! To me, this is
the best car movie to be made since American
Graffitti! Only one month ago, I was telling one
of my car/friends that we need another car movie
bad! I received my latest issue of Rod &
Custom in the mail and read about the movie! It
was as if my wish had been granted! I grew up
in the 50s and 60s, and all I can say is "you
really nailed it" in the movie! I just want to
let you know I absolutely love everything about
this movie! God bless you for this gift to all
of us carcrazy fans!

Dear Faith
My husband, Jerry, and I started watching the Deuce of
Spades because our son, Aaron, is one of the actors. Our
interest in the film was single focused and we even said
that as soon as we saw his scene we were planning to
turn it off.
Well, needless to say that did not happen. While we were
motivated to watch the Deuce because of Aaron we kept
watching it to the very end because of the message and
quality of the film. We were moved to tears a few times
and at one point I lost track of time because I was so
consumed by the story.
It is even more amazing to know that you did so much of
the work yourself and with very little funding. The
photography is amazing, the characters believable and
the story captured us.
My husband who is not very interested in movies unless
they have something to do with spies and a lot of action
was very taken by it as well. He was especially
impressed with the way the end was handled.
Needless to say we are fans. Of course, we still think
Aaron is amazing but also have an unexpected respect for
you and the entire film. Aaron has taken us on some
fantastic journeys with his interests and talent and
this is one of the best.
Thank you,
Lynne Pagel

Dear Faith,
We loved the film from beginning to end. We also had a
couple of friends of our car group over to watch with us
and they want to buy a copy of their own. I would love
to see you one day make a sequel to see how the
relationship progressed and to know you did meet them.
Your movie had everything to appeal to both the hotrod
men and women. Kudos to you for making a film that will
be loved for many years to come by all hotrodders men
and WOMEN.
Sincerely,
Susan and Lance

We really enjoyed the movie and wish you all the

I wanted
to relay my thanx and appreciation of the movie. My club
friends picked up a copy for my wife and I from back to
the 50's. We watched it last night and am hoping for a
sequel to it. We could not be there due to a major
surgery my wife had, so I stayed back to be there for
her. My friends said you were wonderful to talk with and
the picture of you in their black 55 chevy gasser was
nice. Keep up the good fight and thanx again for a fine
movie.

échangé quelques mots sur "Vivas Las Vegas" (depuis pas
une seule bouchée dans "nos" bonnes baguettes sans une
pensée pour vous Faith) et gardons une forte impression
de tout cela.
Encore felicitations pour votre travail, si tant est que

"To
the Lady - Faith Granger
I have
already placed my order for items to remember your
wonderful film by. I am not a Hotrod individual and
went to the Las Vegas show for a friend
who
could not attend because of work. He heard about
your movie and asked me to pick it up for him. I was
the first guy to purchase your movie in Vegas.
Your
people finally agreed to sell me one but I had to
wait until the film started in the theatre. In truth
I did not want to see it.
I, my
bud, and friends watched it that evening. I found
the story very memorable and engaging. It felt like
watching a historical play unfold.
I am a
Science Fiction admirer and your balance on past and
present time was flawless allowing for the story to
be more important than the effect.
After
some time I felt your movie should be added to my
film library.
I hope
my small purchase of your movie and memorabilia will
add to your continue work in your field.
Not
many people get to pursue their dreams, but it is
good when people such as yourself do reach your
dreams,
and
allow others to see your gift by sharing.
Live
Long and Prosper
Signed
George
P. Wansor
PS: I
will admit your Hotrod - the Deuce of Spades - is a
nice addition to the area of "Legends".
Whether the legend is real or made up, is not
important - all it takes is a whisper through time
for it to become another story,
listened to by the next generation. Thank you for
creating a remarkable movie."

"Dear Faith,
My husband (Mark Lambert) and I were recently introduced to
Deuce of Spades by Laura Sparks. We LOVE the movie and are
watching it again, this time with your fascinating
back-story narration. Mark plans to attend Tom's memorial
event, and I hope that he will have the opportunity to meet
you in person, as I imagine you will be there too. I regret
that I will be unable to go. We feel as if you are already a
friend, partly because of Laura's praise of you and partly
due to your personable and disarming demeanor on film.
Anyway, I wanted you to know that we are new fans, in awe of
your talent and fearless, can-do attitude. If you are ever
in Nashville, I hope you will consider contacting us so we
can take you out to dinner! All the best to you."

Thanks for
replying to my email. I very much enjoyed your film, and it has
inspired me to me to adopt the hot rodder mindset in this
digital age with my 1979 Pontiac Firebird. After all, the Deuce
of Spades was
only 23 years old in 1955! In high school, my peers always drove
the new tuners. It was hard fitting in, and since then I've
largely abandoned my car. Your film has reminded me that it
feels good to drive a classic; air conditioning be damned!
Anyway, I certainly hope you'll make another fantastic work of
art like this. You have a loyal fan here, I promise.

Hello Faith. My
wife and I were at the Grand National Roadsters Show at Pomona
yesterday. We saw your booth advertising the movie. I was
curious to see what kind of movie it might be and my wife was
unsure of what it would be about. To the delight of both us, it
was great movie and when we read more about how it was made by
you, we were really impressed. We both grew up in that time
period and the resonate with the dress and attitudes that you
captured. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Congratulations on an
excellent film and I have ordered several copies to give to my
friends.

Dear Faith,
Just want to express my deepest admiration for you and your
film! I understand it takes a huge talent and an incredible will
to accomplish what you have done! Good acting, beautiful cars
and locations lit fantastically!! I am a big veteran car lover,
even though I specialize in Volvos 444 from the fifties, I read
a lot about hot rods! I own two 444´s from 1954 and 1956 (the
year export started to California) Sometimes when I lay under my
car (lots of brake-problems...) it is like the car wants to
whisper its history... It is a different tale from a hot rod in
California, but still, I got a lot of pleasure out from
fantasizing about its past, I have even found old photos in it
of it with previous owners!! You have been a huge inspiration
for me!! Thank you so much!! Merci beaucoup!!
Love Peder Lorentzson, Sweden

Je me présente, je
suis un jeune mec de France, passionné depuis longtemps par le
Hot Rodding et la Kustom Kulture, je suis aussi militaire et je
me trouvais à l'étranger lors de la réception du DVD, j'ai donc
eu le bonheur de le regarder ce soir.
Quelle joie de regarder ce film, à commencer par le DVD lui même,
dédicacé et numéroté #1213, le chiffre 13, mon jour de naissance
et mon chiffre porte bonheur depuis ma plus tendre enfance, tout
commençait parfaitement...
Ensuite tout s'est mélangé à la vitesse d'un hot rod lancé, pied
au plancher sur le sable ou le sel d'un désert Californien, un
mélange de sueur, de sang et de larmes, d'huile et d'essence,
d'encre et de fumée.
A ces images et ces rêves défilant dans mon esprit, se sont
ajoutés des sentiments, des dizaines de sentiments, antagonistes,
associés, impossibles à décrire pour certains, limpide pour
d'autres.
La tristesse, la joie, la frustration, le désir, l'excitation,
l'envie, l'amour, la haine, l'espoir, la peur de perdre, tous
ces sentiments ont habité mon être pendant deux heures et
continuent de nager dans mes veines à l'heure où j'écris ces
quelques lignes.
Votre film ma ému, touché dans mon moi le plus profond, me
donnant encore de bien belles heures de rêves et de passion pour
ces années mythiques que je n'aurais pas eu la chance de
connaitre, le Diable de Pique vient de piquer mon coeur,
laissant une empreinte à jamais présente.
Je tiens à vous remercier pour cette magnifique réalisation,
ainsi que toute l'équipe d'acteurs et ceux qui vous ont aidé à
faire que ce film ne reste pas qu'un rêve, longue vie au cinéma
de Hot Rodding et à ces acteurs, à qui l'on ne peut souhaiter
que de la réussite.
Mes sincères amitiés depuis la France,
Axel, Le
Chiffre #1213

Just a quick
note to let you know we have received our Movie, "T" shirt
and signed poster.
Thank you for
the prompt service and quality across all three products.
I have to say
the movie was fantastic, with one of the highlights being
the appearance of Gene Winfield who I met in 2008 while we
were competing at the 60th anniversary of Bonneville.
I have told
all my hot rod friends about the movie and it is becoming
well known amongst Kiwi Hot Rodders.
Yvonne and
I wish you all the very best for the future in your movie
making carrier.
Kind regards.
Peter Phillips
and Yvonne Chambers.

Dear Faith,
My goodness, it is hard to begin... it is hard to know where to
begin. I really enjoyed your film. Ok. There. A beginning.
After reading your story on your website, I'm now a complete
fan, to the cult of the Faith Granger on a pedestal club. Truly
remarkable. I too live in LA, and create art, production,
things... whatever... all towards an unknown goal, but always
from inspiration and a need to compose. Your talent is truly
prodigious,. I thought myself a bit of a renaissance man...
but I'm humbled by the complete package that you are as the
quintessential renaissance woman! (...) You are amazing.

Hi Faith
After watching
your great film again, I was struck by something that’s so
integral to your story and yet hasn’t been really mentioned
that much, in all the wonderful feedback you’ve received.
To me, one of
strongest aspects of the Deuce of Spades is it’s deep
spirituality, in the heartfelt belief in a powerful God and
the affect of prayer. I believe it could not have been done
in such a tasteful manner than by a film maker who truly
feels this herself. I confess that I am not a spiritual
person in the traditional religious way. But I found the
spiritual aspect of your film was done beautifully, in a way
that nobody could find offensive or uncomfortable - except
maybe the powers-that-be in studio Hollywood. That’s a
shame, because it’s the broad movie audience’s loss.
Your handling
of a theme that’s so polarized in today’s world was
sensitive and believable. You did it in such a way, as such
a natural and integral part of the story, that your viewers
sense your honesty and really feel touched by something more
powerful than all the “preaching” in the world. That in
itself is a remarkable achievement. So from a
not-too-spiritual guy, I appreciated this about your film.
Congratulations again on your current and continued success.
K. Bishop

Hi Faith,
Well, I must say that we received our DVDs yesterday afternoon and went straight to the basement of our 1940 house and watched your film. We have an old knotty pine paneled room down there that is our
home movie theatre.. My wife asked why I wanted her to watch a car movie, I said this isn't just any car movie, so she watched with me and was blown away. We have NETFLIX and this was as good as
anything Hollyweird has put out in some time with out their green screen and special effects.
Thanks again, as so many have said for doing this. It takes passion to even start and you certainly have that.
I am so glad that I have had the life that I have, and indeed experienced being a kid in the era that you have put on the screen. You nailed the clothes so well that I remember having a jacket just like one the guys was wearing. We all have had our clothes customs in high school, with my era some were the jeans and boots thing, (8th grade for me) then in high school more dressy like plaid short sleeve shirts, chinos and white bucks. I still have some of that stuff that is over 50 years old. You truly are a time traveler and did your homework for every one, and especially for the likes of those of us who were there. We were
blessed then and still are today for the times that we have had.
I guess you could say you have gotten there by Faith, and there is a lot to be said for that. You can carry on now with your life to what ever your new goals will be, knowing that you have not only accomplished your passion and your goals, but you have in turn given a lot of people the joy that is not always in daily life.
Many blessings and a great holiday to you...

Hey, My name is Amanda and im just an 18 year old girl from Sweden.
I just saw your movie and I just got this feelning that i have to send you a mail. First, I think the film is really cool, I fell in love with the movie the first 10 minutes. When I looked up some information about it I realized that you Faith ( if its you that read this) are a really special person and you really inspire me. keep up the good work :)
Im studying Film in school sense 3 years back and this spring i take my graduation but everyone thinks that "oh you cant be anything in the filmworld" but I think you proved that if you want something really bad and have the guts to fight for it you can come a long way in this world.
So thank you for filling my heart with light, this movie is a Film thats going to make some seriously history, No doubt!
You also gave me the strength to keep on fighting for what i believe in, that everyone can make a movie.
Keep on rockin the free world!

Hello Faith,
i have received my copy of your film yesterday, and must say, the 2 weeks between order and receiving , those are well worth it! it really is a great movie, i Really like the guy with the cigar (when he lights it !LOL), always been a lover of old US-cars, You can see on those details that you are a real car freak, (why can't we get back in time to live in those day's)
My father (also a 50's car freak )always told me the nicest things of those years.
Le film est vraiment SUPER !

Hello Faith
I bought this film last week online for my 50’s fanatic/hot rod loving boyfriend. It was supposed to be a Christmas present for him. I received it in the mail yesterday, wrapped it, and brought it over to him and told him to open it. I’m pretty sure I wanted to see the film more than he did! We watched it last night and LOVED IT! It’s honestly the first movie I’ve ever seen my boyfriend stay awake through! We were so intrigued throughout the entire film! You’re attention to detail throughout the entire film is truly amazing. It felt like we were there in the 1950’s with this film the entire time. Although I did not grow up during this era; my high school days were very much the same as the film…just without the vintage hot rods J. It brought back a lot of great memories and it was a joy to watch. You and all of the actors of this film did a tremendous job capturing the essence of the 50’s and the hot rod lifestyle of the era. The film is pure art and the photography is second to none. You truly captured the true beauty of this era and the vintage classics that made it legendary. I followed your story through your blog and The HAMB and your dedication and hard work by all is apparent in every scene. Thank you Faith, for following your passion and directing such an amazing film. It boggles my mind that you never attended film school and it’s even more mind-boggling that this is your very first film. We are big fans of the film American Graffiti and we were expecting a film the closely resembled Graffiti. We very happily discovered that Deuce of Spades is far from resembling American Graffiti and is in a class of its own! We will now cherish Deuce of Spades for years to come. This type of film, its story and photography, are what make a timeless classic. Thanks so much for creating a lovely film and instilling that era into us once again.

Hi Faith,
Just received my copy of Deuce of Spades and all I can say is WOW!!!!
What a fantastic effort in re-creating the 50’s lifestyle. Loved the 32 and the truck as well, those actors were blessed being able to cruise around in those beautiful cars. I will have to keep a look out for more films like this in the future. Do you have any more on the go?
Also thought you might like to know that from when I got the email about it being shipped, it only took 6 days to get to me, so thank you for your prompt service.

Dear Faith,
Wow I really enjoyed your movie and I can recall when my mom use to tell us stories of how it was back in her era and what it was like as a teen a bopper and all the fast moving cars and school dances. Your movie really has brought me back to my own life and how this movie will inspire others of what it was like back then. I can see why it took you 4 years in the making, you did an outstanding job and I like to say thanks for letting me be part of an era of which I was not around but was able to see from this movie. Faith I also was amazed to hear you sing, especially the last part of the movie when the credits were being shown, you are indeed a gifted woman!! Take care and God bless, thanks for just being you..........

Faith-
Sunday was heavenly for me! It was very nice of you to take a few seconds out of your FRANTIC day to allow me to have a photo of you and me together. The entire day was magic and I can't thank you enough.
I got an opportunity to speak with 3 of the cast and each was humble, well spoken and showed a desire to make sure that I was having a good time. I don't know where you found these people but they were wonderful. I guess I was expecting a prima donna attitude and was pleasantly surprised. Those encounters made the day all the sweeter.
Congratulations on your world-class effort and great labor of love from a long-time fan. I won't ask,"What's next" but I will be watching!

Dear Faith,
I didn't realize that it would be you, yourself answering my note; I can only imagine how busy you must be, with your movie and also with your holiday plans, and I just wanted to say how touching it is to actually have heard from you about this. I also wanted to thank you for taking care of things so quickly - I'm not sure if it was Friday or Saturday, but when I got in around 3am this morning the autographed picture of you working on your Deuce was here! Your inscription is wonderful, and very sweet - thank you for keeping so much alive in this world through your film making and your chasing your dreams.
I know you're busy, so I won't write much more, but I wanted to say that I'm sorry that you, too, have had to experience the horror of war, and I'm glad that you made it safely through.
Have a truly joyous Yuletide,
With warmest affection,
Wolf

Dear Faith, a wonderful film, very well made. It sure took me back , though I came along as a hot rodder in 1959 , almost at the end of that era ,I still have my high school hot rod. That would be a 1950 Olds 2 door , so it was good to see one in the film. I have told everyone I know to buy the DVD , so you can make more movies. Where were hot rod girls like you , when I was young. I am 65 now and still rodding. Thanks for all your efforts in the making of this, it’s a wonderful story.

Faith,
Thank you for all of the time and effort as well as the blood,sweat,and tears it took for you to produce the movie "Deuce of Spades". It was well worth the wait,you captured the feel,the look, the sound and the attidude of the 50's hot rod scene!! Thank you again for taking me back to what it was like being a teenage hot rodder in the 1950's I'll be waiting to see what your next will be.
Best of luck with your next project.

Hi Faith
WOW, Thank you and congratulations. You are amazing is there anything you are not good at :)
I was so excited to receive my autographed DVD's and was really impressed by the quality and story. Finally we have a new hot rod movie as I have almost worn out California Kid, Grease and American Graffiti.
To think you started all this on your own with little help or finances is totally amazing you have touched so many people with what you have done. I actually think the cars and story are better than these.
I am hoping that your efforts are rewarded, (...) I love getting to the car events in South Australia in my Deuce of Spades Tshirt. I also wore it in Western Australia at the Hot Rod Nationals last Easter and got lots of questions about the movie.
I directed lots of people to your website.
I have just found you were blogging on ozrodders website. You must be the only producer that contacts fans directly like you do. I was glad that the torrent didn't work. I think by donating to your movie & following the progress we have all been able to feel a special link to you and the movie and would feel that pirates would be stealing from us all.
My Mum was shocked when we watched the extras she realized you owned the star car and that you made the movie and starred in it but she didn't realize you did hair, makeup, filming, music and absolutely everything while staying in contact with everyone on the computer around the world. Following the journey feels like we have gotten to know you and we are so proud of what you have achieved.
Looking forward to your next movie but if you need a rest before taking on another come to Oz for a holiday.
Take care
May you and your family have a lovely Christmas and a happy and safe New Year
Melissa

Hello Faith!
Just a quick note to tell You, that I received my DVDs on Wednesday. I just had to get a sneak peek of the movie as soon as I got home. It was a nice surprise to see Finnish subtitles included. Thanks a lot !! I am sending my second DVD to a friend of mine in Sweden, who has owned a couple of deuce roadsters in his youth and currently has an original deuce tudor he is rebuilding. I am sure he will be thrilled to see the film. I certainly loved it I will watch the movie again with friends on Saturday.
Thanks again for an awesome movie!!!! I will definitely buy one more for a friend in Maryland!!

"Faith,
Well...... after what seemed like years of waiting and following your blog on a daily basis I finally received my copy of your movie yesterday all the way over here in Australia.
I gathered the family around the TV and with much anticipation allowed myself to be drawn into a world that I love so dearly. Words cant really describe my feelings as I watched your movie unfold before my eyes. I felt like an insider as I remembered your blog and all the trials and tribulations you went through to produce this stunning movie. I particularly enjoyed listening to the rumble of hot rods around my living room as they reverberated through my home theatre. My kids were even more impressed when my name appeared on the credits at the end..........
Faith I am more than impressed by your talent and skills. You took a simple idea and produced something that not only hot rodders will love but should, given the right exposure, appeal to the masses and hopefully bring a whole new awareness of the hot rod scene.
I wish you the best of luck with wherever this movie takes you. If the reactions of small family of four from the other side of the world are any indication. I am sure you will go far. In the meantime take a rest. You sure have earned it!
Regards
Steve Pyne

When i first started followings Faith's blog, and she would write how work on the film had to stop becuase she didn't have money to procede paycheck to paycheck, and lets not forget good old visa and mastercard. To get more money to keep going with the idea of pre-selling dvd's to keep the film moving forwad. I figured WTF i can send my $20 to help someones "dream" even if the movie never gets finished and if i never see a dvd it would still be a very small price to pay to help out someone so set on making a dream come true. As i followed along and watched Faith's dream grow, it was the best $20 ever spent for no other reason then that.
Now that its done and has taken on a life of its own, with so many people donating so much time, equipment and professonial know how to bring one persons small dream to a level that no one, i'm sure even Faith had dreamed of.... To some one that never let her dream die, sold out for extra money, when i am sure it would have been easier then falling down tired doing every last detail herself and never losing / giving up control of her "baby" CONTGRATS AND HATS OFF TO YOU, Faith,
Without watching a single frame of your movie you have already given so many people so much by following you along and sharing your dream, your love of hot rods and the culture that makes a connection with all of us. BEST OF LUCK ON DREAMS COME TRUE AND THE RIDE THAT AWAITS YOU AS THE DREAM CONTINUESBob Reynolds

Saturday, October 17th 2009... okay, so i'm still sitting in my jammies reading your ENTIRE blog. I can't even make it to the final entry (Thursday, November 11, 2010) -- I must write to you before I explode - I must tell you that I am absolutely floored. I am utterly astounded. And humbled. Each entry inviting me further into your world.
Whether I ever get to meet you, your story will forever alter me. I am completely blown away by your tenacity, your belief, your creativity, your strength and yes, your genious. Thank you for being who you are and for sharing yourself with this world. You are truly an inspiration for people (especially women!) to be TRUE to themselves.
You can be sure I will be talking about you and DOS for a long time~! I can't wait to see your film. But right now, I'm back to blog entry: October 20, 2009 and the rest of the story...
Thank you Faith.

You must still be on an adrenalin high to still be functioning to respond to emails. But I think the truth is that your Mama raised a sincere, caring, loving and grateful child. Thank God for the "kinds of you" :)
I must compliment the parents of Timothy Luke.... Job well done!! what a great actor. He held onto Johnny throughout all the photo requests and treated us all like we were in the 50's along with him. (..)... thank you Johnny!
But then through it all Timothy emerged through Johnny and what a pleasure to meet Timothy. He too seems to be a very compassionate , caring , loving person in tune with family, friends and fans.
So it's always a pleasure to be included with the next generation that will rule the world and everything is gonna be just fine!Sue Smashey

Hi there
Just wanted to congratulate you on a successful movie premiere in the small town of Fillmore, the entire day was one to remember--the stars, the cars, the atmosphere,etc. We at the Giessinger Winery were proud to be part of the festivities and are so sorry you did not have time to visit us or have some fine wine
that day we were extremely busy with patrons so we did not get time to see much of your merchandise or to visit with Faith or the stars.Again, congratulations on the success of the premiere and we look forward to more wonderful films from you.
sincerely,

Congratulations on the release of your film! I attended the premiere on Sunday and I must say it will be the highlight of my year!!
Your Deuce Roadster took us all "Back to the Future" and it was September 5, 1955 in Fillmore that day. The dinner on the train after the movie was simply fabulous, what a wonderful way to end a fantastic day.
Good Luck on all of your future endeavors and let's hope the town of Fillmore wants to continue with the theme of your event.
Remember "True Love Never Dies"
Sincerely and Thanks Again,

Today was a such an enjoyable day. The meal on the train much exceeded our expectations -- the fun cars and people-watching were the best. Then the movie, WOW! Thank you for such a memorable day.

Wow Faith! I am so impressed and amazed by your film. Congratulations on a beautiful piece, on this amazing day after all of the work you put into it, and on finishing your dream. What an accomplishment. What a treat that I got to participate and be even a small part of this. I pray for you that God will open all of the doors you want for you to take this film to Europe and beyond. You really deserve all of the recognition and accolades.
I shared a lunch table and theatre seats today with Tom and his lady Hordice(?). He’s in the film in the red ’05 Mustang and asks you, “What year is it?” What a great guy and a fun couple, he told me you work a full-time 40 hr job. WHAT???? I can’t believe it. That makes your accomplishment that much more amazing and says so much about your drive and determination. You are an inspiration for finding and making one’s dreams come true.
So I just placed my order for the DVD (& tee) and like before when I tried to go back a page the Receipt page slammed shut on me. But this time I’m confident that you will receive and see the order. Thank-you again for letting me get in there last minute for a copy.
I know all of us e-mail recipients will be kept informed of your progress whenever you can find the time to write. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank-you Faith for the entire, wonderful experience,
Harriette Middleton

I was at the "Daytona Dream Cruise" October 23,2010 and saw the preview of your film.
My teenage years were the same as the characters in the film and I thought you covered the era quite accurately...
although I grew up in Detroit, Michigan not California we had a few "Johnny Callaways" there too. after all Detroit has always been known as the car capital of the world.
(...)
We especially enjoyed meeting the "Star" of the film Timpthy, he was so gracious to everyone there, autographing and posing for pictures.
I hope you enjoy your Deuce as much as we do ours!
sincerely, Sue & and Curt Land

It
all
started
when
that
32
roadster
turned
your
head
and
got
you
into
our wonderful
world
of
hot
rods...
What
a wonderful
ride
this
has
been,
hasn't
it? We
in
our
community
are so
glad
to
have
met
you
and
had
you
join
as
you
are
bringing
so
much
to
us,
not
just
with
your
film,
but
with
all
that
you
do
...
Hope
you
know
how
much you
are
thought
of
....

Dear
Faith,
Some
of
us
owners
of
Deuces
in
Australia
cannot
wait
for
the
movie
to come
out
and
for
our
dvds
to
arrive.
We
are
so
excited
about
this movie
and
thank
you,
Faith,
from
us
all,
for
giving
the
Deuce
some
glory.
I am
sure
it
will
be a
wonderful
movie
that
will
go
to
cult status
with
car
lovers,
as
it
should.
Maybe
it
will
be
the
next
"American
Graffiti"
?
Hope
so !
Well
done
and
thank
you.
Cheers,
Chris.

Hello Faith,
My name is Kirsty and i’ve grown up a hot rod chick as well. Just been perusing your Deuce website and love your story behind it all. I have been raised around cars as my dad is a hot rodder. I currently own a matt black 77 C10 Chev stepside pickup and a 55 chev sedan (original in need of makeover), and located in Adelaide, Australia. A 55 chev is my dream car and i’m not quite there yet and i’m so happy for you that you’ve achieved your dream. There are a few girls here in Oz I know with hot rods/fords/chevs/holdens etc and live and breathe cars.
Hanging to see your movie!!! I haven’t seen a good car flick since American Graffiti.
Good on you for doing your film, i can appreciate the low budget and long hours you have put into it and there’s no doubt this will open amazing doors for you. Good luck J.
If your ever here in Australia I would love to take you cruising and show you the sights so please look me up.
Kind regards,
Yours in Cruisin,
Kirsty Barklem

Hi
Faith
and
all
the
crew
at
Deuce
of
Spades,
I
have
been
watching
and
waiting
for
the
movie
to
be
released
and
now
you
have
finally
finished
it,
I
cant
wait
to
see
it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I
have
been
following
along
on
the
TSK
site
and
also
your
D of
S
site.This
is
going
to
be
the
most
awesome
movie
of
all
time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am
on
the
other
side
of
the
world
in
Tasmania
Australia
which
has
a
very
small
hot
rod
and
kustom
population,
I
have
had
a
passion
far
late
'40's
early
'50's
hot
rods
for
about
20
years
and
have
been
collecting
parts
for
a
Model
A
roadster
for
nearly
as
long.
You
have
given
me
lots
of
inspiration
just
by
what
you
have
done
to
make
this
film,
and
I am
sure
I
will
be
even
more
inspired
once
I
see
the
film.
I so
look
forward
to
watching
it
with
my 5
year
old
son
who
also
has
a
liking
for
hot
rods.
Thank
you
Faith
for
bringing
the
fiftie's
to
real
life
for
those
of us
that
are
not
quite
that
old
and
missed
the
best
decade
ever. I
have
placed
an
order
for
two
dvd's
and
a
t'shirt,
I
would
love
it
if
you
could
sign
one
of
the
dvd's
to
me
Ashley,
that
would
be
sensational!!
Well
good
luck
on
the
release,
and
may
you
be
blessed
for
all
the
hard
work
you
have
done
over
the
past
few
years.
Cheers
from
Ashley
in
OZ

Hi
faith,
What
a
wonderful
news-letter-update!!
I am
very
pleased
for
you
and
I
know
that
you
will
be
able
to
bathe
in
the
well
deserved limelite
for
many
years
to
come.
The
film
is a
GEM
and
a
much
needed
boost
for
the
American
public
who
sometimes
tend
to
forget
what
a
great
past
the
automobile
has
had
in
forming
American
culture....not
just
in
the
dealer's
showroom
floor.
All
Good
wishes
to
you!
Cheers,
David

good

great
news!
I'm
so
happy
for
you.
I
hope
much
of
the
strain
on
you
is
over...and
the
downhill
ride
is
pure
joy.
Your
patience
throughout
has
been
remarkable
and
this
notice
you've
sent
out
is
brilliant...I
respect
you
so
much

all

judgments
at a
cost...(Made
in
USA)
as a
retired
union
carpenter
I
admire
you
decisions.
I
could
go
on
and
on
but
you're
still
a
busy
lady.
I
look
forward
to
being
with
you
when
you
pick
up
your
deserved
OSCAR!!!
Love,

Faith,
I
just
received
your
newsletter.
I was
trying
to
decide
on when
I was
going to
purchase
the DVD
and a T.
But,
after
reading
your
letter
and
description
of how
you are
using
Made in
USA
items.....I'm
in. You
stepped
up....so
I am as
well.
That's
integrity
in my
book.
Good
luck
with the
movie. I
think it
will be
a smash.
No one
makes
films
like
this
anymore.
Take
care and
we wish
he best
for you,

Looking
forward
to the
movie
-Can't
Wait!
Have
already
purchased
the
advanced
copy.
I hope
you get
the
recognition
you
deserve
as this
film is
long
overdue
in the
movie
community.
Movie
companies
are too
worried
about
the
bottom
line to
even
entertain
a
project
like
this.
Kudos to
you for
your
vision
and
perseverance
on this
most
daunting
and
ambitious
project.
This
will be
so
worthwhile!
Good
Luck!
