These incredibly kind words came from Andrew Engert's personal page. This is a post he put up the other day which I personally requested permission to repost here. We are so appreciative to know there are people like Andrew who fully get us as people and a business who cares:

"Also I haven’t said this for a while either, but thank you Eastern Effects.
I feel like I literally need to name my first male child Chris or Scott.
I can never pay back all the favors you have given me over the years.
F**k if I could give you a year of my weekends it barely feels like enough.
Thank you, Bruce Jones you are literally what keeps me going sometimes.
Without all of you I cannot imagine the state kf artistic expression, in our field, in NYC.
If no one has said it for a while you guys are the best and your collective ability to support productions should never be underestimated and cannot be praised enough.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You humble me with your generosity to help me in my career every single time." - Andrew Engert

Cinematographer Alan Caso Made an Extraordinary Plea for Diversity at Saturday’s ASC Awards

"I have no excuse, nor can I justify the many years I spent in a bubble worrying about only myself. Now, this isn’t an easy career for anybody. You book one job, and before that job even ends, you start worrying if you can book another one, so you can cover your kids’ insane tuition bills. But if that’s the pressure I felt throughout my entire career as a white man, I can’t even imagine what it’s like to try and have a career as a woman, a person of color, a woman of color."

"I will spend the remaining years of my career mentoring and kicking some doors in for aspiring cinematographers who don't look like me."

The projections for the superhero film keep being revised upwards by major tracking services.
