TESTIMONIALS
"What filmmaker Melody Gilbert does so well...is to remain an observer. She assembles the story, but she lets the subjects tell it" -Cinemaspeak
"Filmmaker Melody Gilbert tackles considerably tough subject matter, and is able to treat it with a delicate touch that is equally as provocative as it is sensitive." ~ Warren Curry, Film Critic
"Our audience loved Melody Gilbert as our Guest Filmmaker. Her enthusiasm lit up the place." - David Siegler, Big Water Film Festival
