      Hi “Colin”! I’m going to take this as your official apology 😂😂
      I did see very positive things being said on local social media about the production. Locals seemed very happy to have you there.
      I’ll keep an eye out for the movie, is there a rough date for release yet?

    I love how you are the perfect mix between adventurer, a bit of a geek (in the positive sense), a runner and make seriously awesome videos. seriously, keep up the good work! Half of the stuff is irrelevant for me (as I already have that piece of equipment, or the next version, or an alternative), yet still I watch it.
