To the Editor,

After two grueling-yet-productive weeks of filming my feature length movie in Tecumseh called “Sidewalk Singer,” I wanted to reflect a bit and give out a lot of thanks. Forgive me if I miss some beautiful helpers and volunteers with this partial list, but I’m deeply grateful to so many who made the whole shoot rewarding and smooth. I’d like to thank Kevin Welch at city hall for his valuable assistance, as well as Harold and Julie Rhora for allowing me to film at their home and their business, Great Ideas. Some other businesses that really aided me were the Daily Grind, British Pantry and Tea Garden Café, Companion Animal Clinic, What A Find! Consign, Tecumseh Trolley and Limousine Service, Schmidt and Sons Pharmacy, Delphos Granite Works, Home Specialists, Champion Landsculpting, Brownies House of Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Subway, Basil Boys, Cowboys Grill, Big Boy restaurant, Evans Street Station, Country House restaurant and Gloria Dei Lutheran and First Baptist Church. Thanks to the Sons of Thunder Strength Team for flying here from Texas and Florida, along with Scott Campbell of State Farm Insurance in Tecumseh and the Diaconate Board and volunteer meal providers at First Baptist Church. A special thank you to the Tecumseh Herald, Daily Telegram, Clinton Local, and Jerry Hayes and Steve Barkway at WLEN. I’m indebted to a magnificent director and cinematographer, Jeff Thomas, along with Brian VanCamp, the Unit Production Manager, and an extremely talented music supervisor, Kent Marcum.
