"I try to put you in the shoes of others." That's a great mantra for an artist, especially in an art like filmmaking. And your movies definitely walk the talk.

Thanks Steve. This STORK one was just odd enough to do that for myself as well as maybe others! Ha!

These are keenly sharp reflections. Having more perfect births for who? Or why? Now, we have those who believe we can indefinitely extend human life. That’s quite a scenario: perfect babies endlessly being born who never die, except from their own stupidity.  Mother Nature (Life’s evolution) is already laughing. Balance (homeostasis) is more than a word.  Mama’s been kicking the can down the road for more than a few million years. She knows when to call a time-out. And she will.

Couldn't agree more! Thanks Galen, for the comment, for the widening of what the movie played with. We made a serious topic pretty entertaining, so appreciate your roping it in, giving the 'perfect digital births' a higher note!

VERY ODD…but actually pretty fetching! The stories mixed in, like yours about your father, also others, are working better than I remember! So enjoying watching it again.
