"Filmmaking is, in my opinion, the highest form of art because it takes a plethora of different types of art; photography, sound, painting, music, set dressing, architecture... film is beautiful and is made more beautiful by human hands." James Gary

As we celebrate this July 4th, we at Eno River Media hope everyone enjoys a safe, joyful, and reflective Independence Day. This holiday is more than fireworks and parades—it's a time to appreciate the freedoms that define the American spirit. Among those freedoms is the ability to tell our stories, share our dreams, and connect through the powerful medium of film.

The movie industry has long been a mirror of American culture, capturing the triumphs, struggles, and hopes of our people. From epic historical dramas to small-town documentaries, storytelling on screen brings us together—just as this holiday does. It reminds us that creativity, collaboration, and freedom of expression are not only rights but responsibilities we must uphold for future generations.

As families gather and communities come alive with celebration, we salute the filmmakers, crew members, actors, and supporters who work tirelessly—often behind the scenes—to make magic on screen. Let us continue to support local talent and regional film festivals that embody the diverse voices of our nation.

Happy Independence Day. May your celebrations be filled with pride, peace, and cinematic inspiration. And may we continue to use the art of film to honor our past and imagine a brighter future.
