limitless! A
great story,
wonderfully
filmed, a
colorful

"Years ago I
fell in love
with the
work of
artist Tom
Fritz for
his stunning
use of form
and light,
and because
he catches
the essence
of hot rod
spirit in
images of
cars racing
across
desert
basins.
Deuce of
Spades
amazed me as
the motion
picture
embodiment
of Tom
Fritz' art,
a spiritual
experience
of beauty,
freedom and
raw power.
The romance
in Deuce of
Spades is
not limited
to that
between guys
(and girls)
and their
cars, but
also about a
love affair
interrupted
by
circumstance,
and a
woman's
quest to
bring that
affair to
fulfillment.
The
photography
is a
knock-out,
and the
actors, plot
and dialog
are all
solid and
convincing.
I seldom buy
a feature
film, but
this is one
I am
enjoying
over and
over."

masterpiece...
Through an

end... And the end
is fantastic!"

Faith

"Deuce of
Spades was by far
the best movie I saw
in 2010 and although
I'm not a member of
the Academy, it gets
my nod for the Oscar
as best picture of
2010! Set against the
backdrop of the
early 1950's, Deuce
of Spades whisks you
away into the very
heart and soul of
classic hot rodding.
More than just lots
of very cool cars,
and believe me,
there is a veritable
sea of timeless
classics, at its
core, Deuce of
Spades is a powerful
and moving love
story. Woven into
the colorful
tapestry of swing
dancing, vintage
rock 'n' roll,
saddle shoes, and
fast cars, this
movie goes straight
for your
heartstrings and
doesn't let go. Hang
on tight 'cause
you're right along
for the ride with
Johnny Callaway,
(wonderfully played
by Timothy Luke) and
his Deuce of
Spades.
Faith Granger has
created something
truly magical that
will stand for years
to come as a
landmark in
independent cinema.
There's an honesty
and passion which
comes through and
the only thing which
touches me more than
the story portrayed
in the movie is the
story behind its
brilliantly gifted
creator."
- Craig Bowman
"An incredible
movie/experience… My wife Brenda, Joe, Angie and me were all
blown away with the story, acting, twists, the emotion and on and
on. I definitely will tell my friends and family about it and
what they missed today. The cars, the bands, the people… a great
experience. Truthfully, I expected we would see the movie, check
out the cars and get on with daily life in Fillmore. We got there
at 11:30am and stayed all day and into the evening… "
- Dave Crocket - President Fillmore Chamber of Commerce.
"This is a very
complex film. It
went against
every stereotype
I knew of. It
certainly wasn't
a typical
Hollywood,
prepackaged and
stale copy of
the standard
work. This film
will have great
cross-over
appeal. There
are only a few
movies that I
enjoy seeing
over and over
again. Deuce of
Spades is so
full of meaning
that I could
watch this movie
over and over
again and still
find something
fresh.(...) It
is riveting and
unforgettable.
Deuce of Spades
isn't an easy
film to review
and it often is
a hard film to
watch; exactly
the kinds of
films that over
time become a
cult favorite."
- Richard
Parks, son
of Wally
Parks,
founder of
the NHRA.
"Faith
What an
outstanding
outcome for
your film.
Congratulations.
I really
thought the
film is
terrific."
- Ray Brown,
Fillmore
Film
Commission.
"I've seen many indie
films that aim for the sky and fall short, especially when it comes
to capturing the essence of the story and the characters struggle;
The quintessential heart and soul.
Deuce of Spades, on the other hand, doesn't just come packed with
quality visuals and slick hot-rods, but also incorporates the HEART
& SOUL throughout its run-time and connects with the audience at an
emotional level - leaving you vulnerable in the end.
I've seldom felt the barrage of emotions that I experienced at the
film's screening, and as a film-maker myself, this project has
become part of a elite group of Independent Films that continues to
inspire me in my personal journey into the directing world. Hats off
to Faith Granger, her star Timothy Luke and the entire cast and
volunteers who were involved in the making of this very ambitious
flick."
- Adithya Ashok,
Filmmaker
"I
thoroughly enjoyed
watching the film
from beginning to
end. I teared up at
least three times.
It has just the
right amount of
drama, humor,
tragedy, excitement,
despair, and
redemption. What the
filmmaker has
accomplished is
nothing short of
amazing! I've
seen many films,
studio blockbusters
and independents,
and I must say that
this exceeds the
expectations of an
independent film,
although it has
elements of an
independent, it is
exceptionally unique
in it's story,
presentation and
cinematography.
After seeing it,
I'm actually having
dreams of scenes
from the movie now!"
-
Robert Eldon, Filmmaker.
"There is a level of
genius in this production! The
lighting, composition,
ingenuity and creativity
are as good as I have
seen in 25 years of
producing films and
television. Especially
the period scenes. The
film captured the 50's
and hot rod scene. (...)
The director had some brilliant ideas that succeeded on film. Bravo.
The story is well
thought out, the
direction is strong,
and the casting was very
successful. I
believe Faith Granger will have success with this film and the films
to follow. Her directing career is off to a great start."

"Deuce of
Spades is a
hand crafted
piece of
art. This is
a car movie,
but it
actually has
character
development,
a plot, high
craftsmanship,
and a
meaningful
message
which will
extend its
appeal far
beyond the
typical car
movie crowd.
All the
characters
in this
movie are
fully three
dimensional
characters
that evolve
and change
before the
audience's
eyes. They
do not fall
into the
stereotypical
categories
associated
with many
movie
characters,
and show
true
real-life
emotion,
strength,
and
weakness.
The well
thought out
plot keeps
the audience
emotionally
involved
with all of
the
characters,
while giving
both the
character
and audience
room to
grow. All
while the
plot twists
create a
true need to
understand
the
characters
and know the
truth about
the Deuce.
The quality
of Deuce of
Spades is
also
fantastic.
The
cinematography
is very
nicely done;
using lots
of natural
light that
helps
showcase all
of the stars
of this
film,
including
the cars.
The scenery
and
locations
are also
well chosen,
and add a
realistic
back drop
for story
development.
All the
vehicles
were period
correct and
added
realism to
the story. I
personally
like the use
of the TRI
fives, 1955,
1956, 1957
Chevrolets,
as a way to
mark the
passage of
time.
This movie
will
naturally
mean
something
different to
each and
every person
who sees it,
but it does
get many
messages
across
relating to
the essence
and feelings
of love,
rebellion,
pride,
passion,
fear, and
destiny. It
is these
messages
along with
the powerful
emotions of
the
characters
and decent
acting that
sets this
film apart.
Deuce of
Spades is
much better
than most of
the movies
put out by
Hollywood,
and stays
with you
long after
the credits
have
finished.
The
meaningful
feelings
that this
movie
impresses
upon an
individual
should be
done by all
Hollywood
movies.
Simply put;
most other
movies get
their doors
blown off by
the Deuce of
Spades."

Guido
"Following
the press releases since
the beginning, the movie

"If
Someone
would ask me
what I
thought of
the movie in
one word I
would say
"AWESOME!!
For Granger
to go from
not working
in the Movie
or TV
industry and
have this in
4 short
years is
nothing
short of Aww
inspiring.
Her
determination
and
relentless
pursuit of
knowledge
both for her
roadster
maintenance
and
filmmaking
is the stuff
legends in
both worlds
are made of.
The movie
was
Photographed
beautifully,
Edited
Superbly and
the Sound
design and
soundtrack
are period
perfect!!
It is a
Standard
Hollywood
movie. There
is no
incling at
all of
anything
amateur. The
movie is
entertaining
at all
times. There
is no LULL
in the
picture, the
story
continues to
hold your
attention
throughout
the film.
Not a boring
moment. The
effects on
the roadster
flip over
were
excellent!!.
Faith
Granger has
really got a
great film
there. The
Sky is the
limit!!
The sad
moments when
Bettie gets
the letter
from Johnny
at the book
signing was
very
emotional, I
got teary
eyed! It's a
great film!!

edited, superb acting and great directing"
- Eric Vigil, photographer.
" You did not just touch my heart, you went straight through it! Growing up in Sweden on American Graffiti and dreams of the 50´s I have seen just about every movie ever made that included any of that, and this movie of yours is the best one I have ever seen.
Thank You so very much for fighting for your dream, it was well worth it and you will inspire many, many people. This movie will be known forever as one of the big ones, and frankly, I think you just started an avalanche."

" DEUCE OF SPADES is the Ultimate Hot Rod movie!! An outstanding effort!! EVERYTHING was perfect - the storyline, the props - everything. I just am so very impressed by Faith Granger vision and dedication to put this fine piece of art together - and I say art as it is!

"All I can say is ... Faith Granger has created
a timeless masterpiece.
The hot rod culture, the meticulous attention to
period detail, the characters, the story, the
beautiful cinematography, the music, the whole
package: I don’t think I’m going over the edge
when I say I had flashes of Bergman and Wells
watching Deuce of Spades. DEUCE OF SPADES gets
even better with each viewing and it's artistry
is a pleasure to experience!
Granger put Hollywood studios to shame. If there
is any justice, she will have a great future in
film."

" I just
finished watching DEUCE OF SPADES. It was worth the wait. It is my
new favorite movie. The story was great, caliber of acting, and
quality of the film is the best. I had to wipe tears away several
times. A major studio couldn't have done better, in fact, I believe
they could not have done as well, because the filmmaker put their
heart and soul into this film."
- Michael Breed, fan.
"The movie was
great! I loved all of it
- There should be more

- Debbie, Spectator.
" I

- Lindy Reilley, car

"Great story,
strong presentation and a beautiful portrayal of the 50s, the decade
in which many of us "grew up", myself included. Granger has done a fabulous job, a true labor
of love and we are all the richer for it."
- Tom Potter, car
owner.
“As a highly original
independent film DEUCE
OF SPADES stands out
proudly from the pack,
but as a very first
feature from a brand
new, self-taught
director who’s learned
literally EVERYTHING she
knows on the job, it is
simply unparalleled.
This film and the story
behind its creation are
extraordinary, and
nothing this filmmaker
accomplishes in the
future will surprise me;
she’s that good.”
"The ride was long ,
but after seeing the film my ride meant nothing. I am very grateful
that Faith Granger came up with such a fantastic film. Timothy Luke and the others did
a very awesome job. I was not aware that he was the main guy in
the film when he shook my hand at the Premiere. DEUCE OF SPADES is a great, wonderful
movie that has delivered color in this black and white world. "
- Sir Spencer Simon,

"Outstanding film!! I
lived much of that era
and Granger nailed it
!!! After it ended I just
had to sit a while. It
was **that** good."
-
Frank
Melbourne, FL
"I
have never seen a TRULY independent movie that is set on a time
period done so well, let alone by a first time filmmaker. Faith
Granger has really proven herself to be very talented and I can't
wait to see what she tackles next. Although this is not a big budget
film, the story is solid and the ability to extract emotion from the
audience is as powerful as many of today's Hollywood movies. This is
a gem for sure and if nothing else, the story of how it was made
will inspire artists throughout the world to pursue their dreams and
create."
-
Luis Sinibaldi,
Producer.
"I came to the premiere on Sunday with high expectations for seeing a true 50's hot rod movie. My expectations were certainly met but I had not expected to be taken on an emotional roller coaster; it's rare that I cry in a movie but the film got to me."
-
Les Bateman
"I
can't stop thinking about this film, and the more I read about the
process, the more impressed I become. Then I saw the picture of
Faith and her camera... OMG.... That was P2??? I shoot P2 for NBC and
it sure the hell never looks like that!! WOW. I'm stunned."

"I loved it!!! What a

The film choked me
up a bit: That never
happens to me. The ending
was very powerful and
profound. It still
moves me thinking about
it!"
-
David Gallentine
"I've been digesting the
info from this movie
since the viewing. Call
me crazy, but I've been
so affected that right
now I feel like I want
to build something
excruciatingly fast and
powerful, then push it
past its limits just so
I can suffer the agony
and displacement that
the characters have
shown lead to such a
fulfilling reward. The message
that I got was the power
of love. It was nailed
down so hard with this
production it made me wanna
burst into flames just
to recover that one most
prized gift. This movie
is going to find its
place in history; It's
a winner."
-
Ian Roussell, custom car
builder.
"Faith Granger's
Deuce of Spades is an incredible accomplishment of dedication,
grit and talent. The cars, the clothes, the dancing and the
environment she has created are so authentic that you are
transported to another time. But Deuce of Spades is not just for
hot rodders! It is a celebration of the cars and hotrodders of
that era yes, but it is much more than that. It is a love story
that grabs your heart while the beautifully filmed
scenes mesmerize your eyes. Newcomer Timothy Luke, is an
exciting star...ala James Dean. Very impressive first film. A
must see!"
- C. Campbell
"I must say I was lucky
enough to be at the Test
Screening of DEUCE OF
SPADES. I was engrossed
right from the beginning
of the movie and up till
the very end. It touched
my heart and brought
back my youth once
again. The sound designs
were mysterious and
enchanting. The
storyline was so real, I
could relate my own life
to it. The dialogues and
actors were right on as
if it were the fifties
all over again. I have
many adjectives to
describe DEUCE OF SPADES
but for now I'll just
say it was AWESOME!....I
can't wait to see it
again."

story!
Loved
the cars
and the
locations,
the
editing

fantastic!
My wife
who is
not
exactly
a "Hot

really
enjoyed
it: This

for more
than
just car
people."

a fantastic film!
This is so much
better than so many

Loved the story,

"Wow!
What a
great
movie.
Faith
Granger hit
it out
of the
park.
Looks
like the
stage is
set for
a great
career
for her
- in
writing,
directing,
filming,
acting,
and
music.
Looking
forward
to her
next
piece."

Knopp
"This is really
hard for me to
write, I'm such a
jumble of emotions
right now after
watching DOS, I'll
just say that I
LOVED EVERYTHING
about it !!!
In St. Paul,
Minnesota where I
live I was in a Car
Club called "The
Jokers Wild" I just
wanted to say how
this movie brought
back so many of my
own car club
memories....I never
had a second chance.
I can see why Faith
Granger turned down
major studio
backing, she did it
her way and did
it rite, they would
have wrecked it."
- Paul Busta
"The
film is
AWESOME!"
-
Michael
Wittman
"I received my
copies of Deuce
of Spades this
evening
(literally
delivered by the
postman at 8:30
PM), as well as
my signed
poster. I
couldn’t wait to
watch the
movie. It’s now
about 1:20 AM, I
watched the
movie, the extra
features, and
director’s
commentary all
in one sitting!
The movie was
awesome and
amazing. It
touched every
emotion… You
cannot watch
this movie
without laughing
and crying.
Faith Granger's
ability to blend
a timeless love
story with a hot
rod theme was
really thrilling
to watch. Her
care in making
sure everything
was historically
accurate was
readily apparent
and is a
testimony to her
dedication to
the project.
She is truly a
gifted artist."

"AWESOME. This

trailers let
on!"

"WOW!!! Great cars, great love story....I will be watching this for
years to come.. Faith Granger did an outstanding, top job...This
film will keep Love and the love of hot rods alive..."

"The movie is
FANTASTIC! The 2
hours went by
like 5 minutes.
This is going to
be a huge
success."
- John Holden
"A stunning movie. I particularly enjoyed listening to the rumble of
hot rods around my living room as they reverberated through my home
theatre. I am
more than impressed by the director's talent and skills. She 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."
- Steve Pyne
"Awesome
movie... Brought
me to tears"

flick"! "

wife and I
watched the
movie last
night. All I can
say is WOW! We
both thought it
was very well
done and enjoyed
it very much. I
cannot imagine
what kind of
effort it must
have taken to
get all of this
done. It was so
much better than
most of what is
out there today,
we also believe
it should be on
the big screen.
The passion of
the filmmaker
shows in every
frame of the
movie."
- Gary Vail
"All I can say is WOW !!! Inspirational and motivating !! The film
was great and I seriously dug it. Like many have already said .....
It is better then most of the stuff that's out at the theater now.
It really should be on the big screen for others to watch. The
camera work (angles) depth of some of the shots were just second to
none and Faith Granger can show some "experienced film makers" a
thing or two. She truly made something special. "
- Jeff Neppl
"The
movie is
awesome! I

work for one person to manage. Writing, music, filming, acting,
directing, editing... and she did very well at every one of them.
Very well done. Faith Granger is an inspiration. "
- Donald Dillard
"Watched
DEUCE OF SPADES
again tonight
with the
girlfriend, and
kids even.
Everybody was
into the movie
start to finish.
Never a dull
moment. After
wards the

couldn't talk to
me for about an
hr about the
movie. Finally
asked her to
rate it on a
scale of 1-10
and got a 10."

"WOW !!!!!!
What a GREAT MOVIE ! I was totally surprised at how well the movie
was thought out and it was an excellent movie to say the least .
There was a terrific story line and saw some really sweet hot rods .
I enjoyed every single minute of the entire movie . It was all good
points and didn't see any bad ones at all . The ending was the best
that you could have made it out to be . I won't say anymore about
the movie so not to spoil anything for those who have not seen the
movie yet , but there is lots of great hotrods , kustom , traditions
, drag racing , the salt flats , fights , well you will just have to
see it !
Faith Granger nailed it right on the head with this great movie ! "
- Jim Holder
"Wow!!!
Great flick!
Great story!
Great scenes!
Great cars! Very
well done!
That Faith
Grainger is one
Hell of a
Director,
Editor, and
seemingly
everything else.
I didn't count,
but I'll bet her
name appears in
the credits at
least 50-times.
She seems
destined for
great things!"
- James McNaul
"Got my copy of DEUCE OF SPADES today in the mail. Talked the wife
into watching it, she's not into the car scene. We both loved the
movie. Wife even watched the extras. She commented several times how
good it was. A great movie! Granger really captured a "spirit" that
can't be explained.
Its the journey not the destination that makes life full of stories.

- Charlie Soell
"Well,
I'd like to add

myself totally
involved with
the film."

"I watched my Deuce Of Spades DVD the first time this morning so I
was 2+ hrs late to start my day! Great, great accomplishment. I read
the IMDB.com reviews tonight, and the film was rated highest by (drumroll
please) teenage males, and women over 35! Faith Granger makes a
car-guy's movie and it turns out to be a chick flick too!
Fearless!!! "
- Tom Foster
"I
have just
finished
watching the
film, and I must
say it is an
outstanding

En tout
objectivité,

très bonne
mises en

Derrière
les images
j’ai senti
tout le
travail
passé à
trouver le
bon plan
avec un
souci de
perfectionnisme
sur
l’esthétique.
L’histoire
également
est très
prenante
et même si
on est pas
passionné
de ces
vieilles
voiture le
film nous
communique
un
ressenti
qui fait
qu’on
comprend
cette
passion.
J’ai
trouvé le
bruit de
ces

magnifiques.

bons et
j’ai
pleuré à
la fin du

se dit que
le destin

En tout

"AMAZING!!
I must
honestly
say that
the
cinematography
is
magnificent,
the
framing
and
composition,
is very
good.
Behind
each shot
I could
feel the
work of a
perfectionist
who is not
afraid to
work hard
to make
each shot
esthetically
perfect.
The story
is very
compelling
and even
if one is
not a car
person,
one can
feel, and
understand,
while
watching
the film,
such
passion. I
thought
the sound
of the hot
rod
engines
was
beautiful.
Acting was
very good
and I
cried at
the end of
the film.
It made me
realize
that
destiny
can derail
at any
time over
a
misunderstanding
or
silence.
One thing
is for
sure: Many
Hollywood
pros
cannot
hold the
candle to
Faith
Granger."

- Jim
Gustin /
Dominators
Hot Rod
Club
A fantastic movie! It is brilliant and such
a terrific story and great shots. It
portrays the glory days of hot rodding and
the 40's and 50's. A time which I think we
all wish we could go back and visit. A
simpler time when life was easier and things
seemed more real. he film brought that all
to life and I had a tear in my eye. A
wonderful movie for lots of reasons,
especially for paying homage to early hot
rodding and the beloved legendary '32 Ford.
It will become an icon for hot rodders and
'32 fans alike.
The Deuce story has been told and
beautifully. And it captures the magic
of a love affair through time based
around a magical car !
- Christopher
Leskie - AUSTRALIA
"All I can say is ... Faith Granger has created a timeless masterpiece.
The hot rod culture, the meticulous attention to period detail, the characters, the story, the beautiful cinematography, the music, the whole package: I don’t think I’m going over the edge when I say I had flashes of Bergman and Wells watching Deuce of Spades. DEUCE OF SPADES gets even better with each viewing and it's artistry is a pleasure to experience!
Granger put studio Hollywood to shame. If there is any justice, she will have a great future in film."

"I'm almost 69, and I had tears running down my cheeks. I don't know if its the fact that I recently went to my 50th reunion, and can relate to past loves, or the great story the film told, but it was wonderful! A great film!"
- Michael Greene
"Fantastic movie! It has touched our
hearts in so many ways, we laughed
and cried and identified. DEUCE OF
SPADES truly goes above and beyond
all the other car, hotrod, 50's 60's
movies ever!!!!!
I rarely watch anything twice, but i
can truly watch this over and over,
This is a film with a vision, it
engulfs everything hot rod we have
within us
all "
- Brad Westergard
"All I can say is WOW!!!! What a fantastic effort in re-creating the 50’s lifestyle."
- Jason Turner - AUSTRALIA
"LOVED IT! We were so intrigued
throughout the entire film! The
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. 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. It truly captured
the true beauty of this era and the
vintage classics that made it
legendary. This is such an amazing
film. It boggles my mind that Faith
Granger never attended film school
and it’s even more mind-boggling
that this is her 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. "
- Caylei Arnold
"I have been following Faith Granger's journey for over a year and I am blown away by the DOS movie. She did a fantastic job on it. It ranks right up there with American Graffiti with me. In fact I think it is even better! It is an outstanding film, a classic."
- Jerry Johnson
"I have watched it three times, and
each time I had a lump in my throat

"Deuce of Spades is the best car
movie I've ever seen, I
absolutely LOVE the film and
watched it 3 times so far!!!!! "
- Pike and Susie Purser
"WOW" ! I totally enjoyed watching the film this afternoon with my wife. I got lost in the story and this greasy gearhead shed a tear or three. {Okay,more than three} Especially when "Betty" is handed the letter and ring in the book store. More so when Johnny "stole" the DOS and split to find her again. My wife enjoyed it very much also. To quote: "Wow, a chick flick with hotrods! I liked it." I hope the rumors of a sequel are true!"
- Dave
"My Dad and Mom (Steve and Carol
Rutherford) just showed me DEUCE
OF SPADES, and I really enjoyed
it. the director a fine job of
putting all that together with
so little… You can really feel
her love and dedication to both
the story and the cars! They
attended the premiere in
California, and have talked
about it so much, I’m glad I
finally got to watch the movie.
A great story, very believable,
I needed my Kleenex a few times
for sure!"

"Deuce of Spades was the best movie I have watched in years, original, great photography, special effects and fantastic story line. Faith Granger did an incredible job, much better that those other plain ole Hollywood flicks. How she pulled it all together, besides being in the movie made it very special."
- Jeff Erven
"I saw the movie this evening
and loved it. As a hot rod
fanatic, I often dream about
coming across a stash of cars as
depicted early in the movie.
I am sure "Deuce of Spades" will
fast become a cult classic."
- Joe Paplosky
"Deuce of Spades est vraiment prenant (j'ai vidé une boite de mouchoirs), les voitures sont toutes magnifiques, certains décors comme le hangar de Joann Davis, la cuisine ... un vrai régal !"
- Marie, FRANCE
"Deuce of Spades is so compelling (I went through an entire box of tissue while watching it), the cars are magnificent, the decors (like Joann Davis hangar and Bettie's kitchen) are real eye candy!"
"Just today I watched the movie
with more friends in their
basement cinema room and
everyone thoroughly enjoyed the
movie. Young and old, male and
female all liked the story and
the cars. Every aspect of the
film: The story, the vision and
creativity, the actors, the
sound and music, the emotion,
the lighting, details and great
continuity."
- Doug Guttridge
"DEUCE OF SPADES is a masterpiece. I usually put on American graffiti to cheer me up on those cold wet days but now I have a choice!"
- Mike Harman, U.K
"Amazing movie, it was love
at first sight. The cars,
the actors, the atmosphere,
the old custom guys ( Bill &
Gene ), overall the plot -
true art. At in the end of
the movie, got tears in my
eyes.
This film gave me
inspiration."

"A barnyard find is our all time dream and we all know that every rod has its own story. The film depicted these things so well. But more than that, there's love, people, I-can-help-you attitude both in the story and in film making itself I guess, that brought me to tears"
- Kohjiroh Ishihara
"Il y avait longtemps qu'un film
ne m'avait pas autant
bouleversée, retournée, etc.
Tout est magnifique de A à Z.
J'ai passé les 3/4 du temps en
apnée ou à pleurer. Enfin nous
avons pleuré comme des bébés.
C'est extraordinaire ce que
Faith Granger as fait et comment
elle l'as fait. C'est grandiose
et je n'ai pas de mots pour dire
à quel point. C'est un cadeau
inestimable. Je n'en reviens
toujours pas."

"I have not been moved so deeply
by a film in a very long time.
Everything about it was
beautiful, from A to Z. I spent
most of the time riveted to the
screen, and shed quite a lot of
tears. My boyfriend and I both
cried. What Faith Granger
achieved and how she achieved it
is extraordinary. The film is
magnificent, words can't even
describe just how magnificent it
is. What an amazing artistic
contribution. I still can't
believe it."
"A great story, production, everything about it. I have watched the film 3 times already and keep seeing and understanding more: Great depth ... This is not your average cookie cutter movie..."
- Jim Madigan
"This is a killer film!!! The
soundtrack with its music and
the deuce's engine sounds is
pure joy. This is a film about
hot rodding now and back in the
days, a real dream - DEUCE OF

vibrate."

"I just saw the film, all I can say is that my emotions are still deeply steered. The film is simply put: PURE JOY. The cars are gorgeous, the acting excellent, the cinematography superb, I never expected such a deep story and it totally grabbed me by the heart strings. I'll admit it: I cried like a child."
- Jerome Walbrecq - FRANCE
"My wife and I sat down on
Saturday night and watched the
movie for the first time.
WOW!! I had been anticipating
my first viewing, but this is
even better than I had hoped
for! The cars, the story, the
gut-wrenching emotion – it’s all
there. I hope that the movie
receives the accolades that I
feel it deserves. Granger has
done a tremendous job!"

again and again. Deuce of Spades
will become legendary!"

"J'ai adoré votre film. Félicitations pour avoir réussi à mener à terme votre projet car il méritait de sortir. Les prises de vues sont magnifiques, l'histoire est belle et les relations Homme/machines y sont traitées avec brio. Nos vieilles autos racontent une histoire et c'est sans aucun doute pour cela que l'on s'y attache tant.
En tout cas j'ai retrouvé dans ce film ce que je vis avec mon combi et ma petite sportive, qui sont certes bien moins vieux que la Deuce mais qui ont aussi un passé et une histoire qui les rend si chers à mes yeux: beaucoup de persones ne comprennent pas cette passion que l'on peut avoir pour de vieilles autos qui sont pour le commun des mortels que de vulgaires tas de ferrailles."
- Jean Luc Garcia
"We just watched the awesome
film Deuce of Spades a couple of
days ago - amazing! An
incredible movie, which
encompasses so much about hot
rodding and life and love in
general! Great cinematography,
great storyline, great acting,
great soundtrack, great
everything! Well done! Hope it
win some awards, which will be
well deserved!"

- Phillipe Vanbuggenhout - BELGIUM
"I
saw DEUCE OF SPADES last night
and was greatly impacted by the
story line. I have survived a
near fatal car wreck when I was
21 and another when I was 25 on
a sport bike. My life has been
spared on several occasions. I
have not yet to this day found
what I call true love but felt
like I have come close a few
times. I was beginning to loose
faith in thinking that it might
never be possible. Obviously I
could relate to certain parts in
the movie with my own real life
experiences. Thought it was
awesome how the film restored my
faith in human nature that
someone would truly care enough
to lend a helping hand to see
true love prevail in one's
heart. Very few movies make me
cry and get choked up, but this
one did!"

"This film is G.R.E.A.T.!!!
Faith Granger has got tons of
talent inside her soul! I
absolutely loved every moment
and every scene! The story is so
deep and involving...wow!
Marvelous direction, quality
acting, the film just
transported me into the '50!!!
Every single moment sitting in
front of the screen, I couldn't
believe what I saw, nobody in
the world has done what Granger
has done and how she did it.
This film is bright light in the
dark for all the fans of the hot
rodding era and the American
Muscle cars era like me. Words
simply can't describe exactly
what I feel after the screening.
Such passion!"

"What a incredible movie this
is. I got the DVD the other day
& took the afternoon off of work
today to watch it. I loved it.
The cars, the people, the story,
the whole package was just
great. I found a tear in my eye
several times. A great movie!!"
- Chris
"It was worth the wait. Granger's passion shows and her skills are inspiring, too. I'm especially impressed with her command of light and shooting angles - this is one of the 'prettiest' films I've seen. Very impressive! "
- Scotty Gosson
"A Master Piece! I was
completely moved by the story,
the cars, the beauty of the
images and characters... And I
am not only talking about
outside beauty, but also INNER
beauty, an inner beauty that
translated on the screen so well
throughout the film. I was
unable to stop the tears and
have been thinking about it
since I saw it yesterday. Love
is ever present in this film and
I was so moved that I could not
see the screen anymore at the
end of the film."

Patrick Griffin
" The film was awesome. It made for a lovely temporary escape. The story line was lovely and we all liked the way that the film changed from color to black and white to sepia and back again. The suspense at the end had me going too. Was Faith going to find Johnny? Were the long lost loves ever going to be reunited? Brilliant.
I’m not sure if this was intentional or not, but I also liked the fact that Faith’s character was called Faith. Her letter to Johnny, signed ‘your friend, Faith’ was rather poignant I think. Johnny doesn’t meet Faith but believing and having Faith reunited him with Betty – I thought that was really nice.
It’s a fabulous film that we’ll definitely watch over and over and over again, and we’ll definitely recommend it to our friends and family. It’s a story that, I’m sure, would appeal to anyone not just those who live in the world of Rock n Roll. "

"I just watched DEUCE OF
SPADES and I am very
impressed! Honestly!
I was expecting more than
just a film car and the film
not only met my
expectations, it exceeded
them! On top of beautiful
cinematography depicting the
life of the fifties
hotrodders, Granger was able
to provide a beautiful love
story that survives the test
of time and I loved the
ending. Personally I love
how the present days and
flashbacks alternated. And
the soundtrack, may it be
the 50's music or scoring,
was top shelf. This film
kept my attention throughout
and I am looking forward to
seeing it again with my
friends. What impressed me
most though was knowing the
filmmaker worked on a zero
budget!" ... Amazing!!"
