Jack Buckley, Aspiring Film Maker and Producer Talks Animation and His Latest Film, A’Taka
This is a family friendly movie. For 8 and up. For kids and parents to watch together. For families to get the popcorn out and queue up on Netflix or Discovery+ or whatever channel you want, and enjoy it. Yes, it would be GREAT to see on a streaming service. Jack is open to that.

Aleasia Hurt from HURTNPOET Shares 7 Cs of Resilience
Over time, she learned she could create poetry out of the stories people told her. I am so fascinated by that because I feel that all of life is poetry. If we just stop to listen, we would hear the sounds of poetry all around us. We would see the colors of poetry drifting in the breeze.
