    Heart

    Great film. It is about people who don't quit and have heart. Dreams are alive!

    Feel good heart exploding view into the world of movie making

    I loved this film. It rambles through NY meeting crazy characters every step of the way. The main characters pull you in and you find urself cheering for Fozzio on his search for his perfect Linda and his financing.

    The coveted role and the much needed money become the golden ticket for a really enjoyable journey.

    A movie that makes you cry and laugh

    This realistic movie captures the drama and difficulty of making an Indie movie. The main characters are real to life sharing their humor and frustrations.

    You don't watch Making the Day, you live it.

    This movie has heart and soul because it is grounded the truth the race belongs not to the swift but to the strong. Like a fine wine, it needed time - 6 years - to be opened and appreciated. Kudos to the amazing writer and director, Michael Canzoniero, to the editor, Michael Berenbaum, to the cast, especially Juliette Bennett and Steven Randazzo, and to all the "little people" who made this movie because they love making movies. An indie like Making the Day reminds us that making serious movies requires people with heart more than studios with money.

    Having a partner you love and whose life you want to honor is what drives this movie. After "experiencing" this movie, I went home kissed my wife. That was my reaction to the movie and it's the biggest compliment I can pay it.

    Inspiring

    I absolutely loved this film...it was like watching a film come together from the behind the scenes, so to speak. The Samantha character (Juliette Bennett) was the backbone of the story for me...she did anything/everything to get the film made! She was truly great. I loved her line... "I'm not afraid of snakes!!!" Amazing job to you all.
