What Folks Are Saying
We've been blown away by the early response to Fortunate Sons - and are incredibly excited to be soon launching our campaign to share it with the world.
"A fascinating story - emotional, dramatic, and totally universal. A wonderful film."
- Richard Baskin
Composer, Songwriter
"The honesty is remarkable."
Richelle Parham
President of Global E-Commerce & Business Development, UMG
"Heartfelt, compelling and insightful...
"You might not think that a film about the extremely fortunate sons of hyper-successful fathers has much heart or soul. But Peter Jones and his talented team imbue this labor of love with plenty of both, to create a compelling and emotional exploration of boyhood, manhood, and the pitfalls of privilege. Someone nearby must have been cutting onions while I watched it."
- Michael Thomas
Author, "Carson the Magnificent"
"An honest, excellent film!
"What a beautiful slice-of-life film with some real shocking stories. It has many elements woven into one excellent film. Not just about school but also about the turbulent times of their generation. It leaves you wanting more and with lots of memories as if you were one of the students. Many have tried to make similar movies with much less success. Watch this great documentary!"
Jason Elkin
