DIRECTOR'S QUOTE

“Working alongside Gerry on this film has been a transformative experience that I’ll forever cherish. Manduka’s trust in me to direct a documentary about a living legend like Gerry was an honor beyond words. Our production, spread across multiple trips, deepened my bond with Gerry. Each sunrise shoot felt like a sacred ritual, capturing not just images but moments of pure connection. Gerry’s wisdom and energy radiated during these intimate moments, leaving a lasting mark on me.

 

The dedication of the cinematography and editing team were indispensable to the project’s success. Their passion and expertise ensured every frame resonated with authenticity.


This journey has left me profoundly grateful, not only for the opportunity to share Gerry’s remarkable story but also for the personal growth it has ignited within me. It’s a project I’ll always hold dear, a reminder of the transformative power of storytelling and human connection.”
