AMERICAN LETTERS | Omeleto

[@kevinkeck2433]

Hi everyone! From the entire American Letters cast and crew, thank you for watching the film and we hope it brings something special to your day. I'm really proud to have directed the film. If you have any questions, I'd love to answer them!

[@tazeenfathima181]

Whoa!! You are best...!!😄😃

[@Radius477]

Hi Cast and Crew. Well done, my friends!! Just the right touch with all the pieces in place. Your story is poignant and touching. It stills the emotions, gently, and it speaks to and of relations. Thank you.

[@UVjoint]

This might be something deliberately left to interpretation, but I'm assuming Robin left Brian after his (ahem) gentlemanly behavior? That's the new beginning she's referring to, right?

[@kevinkeck2433]

@@UVjoint I think you have it exactly right. Robin is packing up her car prior to Nick's arrival and I always imagined that she left and never looked back. Her last communication with her life in Tennessee was that letter she sends to Nick. But I think by that point she has started a new life somewhere else. That somewhere else is an unknown and can really be anything the viewer imagines it to be (a beach town, a big city, somewhere snowy, etc.).

[@eg1197]

Kevin can you please CC this short. I can only hear bit of this and that. You did a wonderful story of 2 beautiful friendship. Nick played the role perfectly.

[@samueldavis1524]

The mailman taught the young lady how to follow her dreams. She encouraged the mailman to live a little. I think fishing lessons to the older woman had now come to fruition.

Don’t we all !

[@franktoni23]

I always believed that when relationship goes wrong, you either sort it out immediately or end it fast. If you let the situation go on for a long time, it starts to stink and fester, and invariably ends up in very broken heart. The weakest and the most vulnerable is bound to be the most hurt. At times like that you really need a true friend. A very good movie, presented very well.

[@helixmoore7636]

Sometimes the strongest and most capable are the most sensitive and venerable !

[@Chaseniceness]

Agree but some people are scared of change.

[@cgallagher5023]

One person used the word "venerable" in lieu of "vulnerable" -- that was a sort of 'Freudian slip' almost . . . !! It still made sense! LOL

I loved this. Wanted it to be longer. It’s not often that you find yourself actually caring about a character in a story. In a world where electronic communication is the gold standard, we forget that hand written letters still have a profound effect on the people receiving them. Connection with people , real people, is what we need.

This was an amazing piece. I like how simple it was. Didn't over dramatize the physical aspect but it was there and you know it was a key element.. the friendship didn't need to be romantic, it was one of human connection and compassion.

I'm a former computer/network consultant. One of the pioneer melanated women to go into the field back in the mid 1980s. Even though I've been steeped in technology, I've always loved handwritten letters and cards. MOF - I always keep a package or two of blank cards in my stationary drawer (yes, I still have one of those...plus custom printed address and letter closure stickers 🤭). There's nothing like the personal connection a hand drafted letter with art doodles, or one using calligraphy, can bring into fruition. It implies caring and concern; that you took the time to communicate in an authentic and unique way. Email could never, or ever, replace it. Thanks for the reminder. ---------------

I met a Jamaican cab driver in NYC, my friend and I took his cab from the airport but my friend lost our Host's address. So we had to drive around looking for a last minute hotel stay. We couldn't find a hotel as only 2-3 bookings are accepted on weekends in NYC. Even worst, due to baseball match a lot of hotels were sold out After much calling at phoon booths, driving around aimlessly, the cab driver invited us to stay with he and his wife. He also took us the airport the next day. Rare and exceptional. Long before the days of accessible cellphone, wattsapp etc. Always wished we could have seen him again. My friend assured me she had the address so we could write him. Regrettably she informed me that she lost the address somewhere during our trip home to Jamaica.

Its not common to be soo drawn to a characters life story, but with these subjects, I felt that i needed to see where it ended up! Very good job to all involved! Tragic, yet so beautifully & emotionally driven; Great ending, such a thought provoking story, once again!

[@cristalcruzzin1756]

One of my co-worker would tell me about the abuse she went through but she would say it in a way that it made it seem like it wasnt "that bad". I told her to get help, I even asked her if she wanted me to call for her but no. I dont like getting involved unless needed, DV cases especially bcuz you never know. The person needs to be ready to leave if not, theyll just go back. Hopefully my co worker is doing okay.

It's not a domestic issue, it's a patriarchal issue that happens to most female partner. And he is not trying to "play the hero" by saving someone from constant abuse.

Truth. Some people have gotten killed for this and the abused winds up taking them back anyway.
