The little flat engine that could. I'm throwing in myself. Supporting the
arts can't ever be abad thing.
If all works out the film will open the mind of some kid somewhere who will
grow up and embrace the gypsy
VW bus traveling spirit. I see it as an investment in our own future. You
know, so there are some kids who want to buy our busses.
Best,
