Response & Recognition
SELECTED FEEDBACK
I have just sat outside on a lovely sunny and warm Friday afternoon in London and watched your film. It is really lovely and emotional. You have captured in such a moving way (and less than 15 minutes!) all the impacts of the arts — personal, social, cultural, emotional, physical, economic, catalytic … wonderful.
~ Dr. Anne Bamford, Strategic Director of Education, Culture and Skills for the City of London
It was so inspiring to see a town that understands the importance of art and community!
~ Lisa Desimini, book author, illustrator
I just got back to Flint from creating art in Detroit, and came home to this email. The film is beautiful.
Much thanks and appreciation!
∼ Pauly Everett, Muralist
I absolutely LOVED this documentary so much, it is so powerful and moving. I feel at times it’s easy to forget what an impact we can have as artists, but this was the reminder I needed!!

Beyond the Bridge is a beautiful film and you should be very proud of such a successful maiden voyage.

What a touching and inspiring celebration of community and creativity. if only the rest of the world could come together. Wonderful job.

Beyond the Bridge tells the story of Akumal, a community on the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Existing in the shadows of tourist meccas Cancun and Tulum, Akumal was a divided community, until local leaders brainstormed a mural project that changed their collective future forever.
