" I
lost my parents when I was young. I was blessed to have
a large family that loved and raised me. This film is family.
Jake's Corner is family. Spence was given Johnny, Gus,
Dado, and a whole town of misfit angels. He is going to
be OK because of love. I loved this film. A great lesson
in faith, life, and love. "

" This
was a beautiful experience. We laughed, cried, and left
feeling better aboout today and tomorrow. America is still
beautiful. Want to get away for a while? See this movie.
Johnny, the big guy, the woman with the bear, the boy and
the dog, all gave us a feeling of hope, and made us feel
better about ourselves. Visual, writing and directing,
fantastic! "

|
|
" Talented
screenwriter/director Jeff Santo instantly lasoos us into
the Arizona high desert world of the endearing and genuine
characters that make up 'Jake's Corner'. As the film progresses,
we become encapsulated in the time frame and fascinated
as to the human metaphors which engage the brilliantly
casted denizens. Tragedy, solace and hope; this is an outstanding
film, true to the independent art genre. It flows as smoothly
as the Jack Daniels poured at the bar. "

" The
movie is wonderful - not only the "main" story
of Johnny and Spence but also the stories of all the characters
who came together as a family and each had something special
to offer to Spence. I also REALLY liked the fact that just
bits and pieces of the other characters stories were told...
but enough told to show how people find relationships in
their lives to help them make it through - FANTASTIC! A
very well-told story about helping and caring for others! "

|
" An
artistic portrayal of, one of so many issues, which so
often brings an overriding definition to our lives. Emphasizing
the inherent goodness we all strive for, while subtly exposing
the flaws we try even harder to hide. It's five o'clock
somewhere.... I'm just not sure which side I belong on
now. Great job. Your dedication is obvious. "

"I
was only a stand-in in Jakes Corner, but I feel so lucky
to have met such a dedicated cast and crew. Everyone that
worked on the film was such an inspiration to me. The film
is touching and gives me chills every time I have seen
it, especially the opening credits! Santo has a big heart
and put everything he had into this film, go see it and
support the beautiful story of Jakes Corner, the movie.

" What
a touching real moving performance by Johnny. He has got
to get recognized and aknowledged by this film. I loved the
excentric woman in the trailer in the woods and his big friend.
I loved all the townspeople. I loved this film. "

Film with intriguing characters demonstrating their humor,
weaknesses, and humanity during difficult times. All in all
a very entertaining film that is family friendly and one

" Jake's
Corner is a true gem. The writing, performances and cinematography
are first-rate. The film is emotionally dramatic and tugs
at the heartstrings while containing a perfect compilment
of humor and spice. The soundtrack is also a highlight. At
the end of the day, and I think last night's audience mostly
agreed, this film is authentic. It stays with you. "

" A
terrific movie experience. The story is one that holds your
complete attention and the scenery is beautiful. A masterful
job of blending characters and messages. This is a movie
that you think about for days later and find message after
message. Definitely a movie that deserves a larger audience.
Young and old will enjoy this experience. " |

|
" One
of the best family films I have ever seen. Its hard to find a
dramatic feature these days that adults and kids alike can enjoy.
Excellent job by director Santo to not have his actors over act.
The subtleness of this movie draws you in and then BAM! it grabs
you by the heart. Incredible music and acting performances. This
movie should be in theaters around the country. " |

and emotional. Photography, music and acting was superb. " |

"Loved
Johnny. He should have his own show on TV. I would watch him & Gus
every week. Fran was Mystical. Doc will get a hit CD from this
film. Loved the Music. " |

"
I believe the film has something for everyone's taste. Has the comedy
when needed. Has the drama when wanted. And gives you that
emotional feeling that you can relate to with certain events
in your life. Overall a good film. " |
