"Yesterday, the head of the Academy Awards and his team watched Reel Injun. Not only were they moved by it, they said REEL INJUN was a work of historical importance and consider it brilliant film-making."

Catherine Bainbridge, Director/Producer

“You’ve done a powerful film and I thank you for sharing it with me.”

“Silence & Storm is a striking portrait of fragility and resilience. Hayes involves his viewers completely with his subject, while never seeming intrusive, and gives these kids the voice so often denied them.”

Steve Kokker,

Film Critic, Montreal Hour

“Hayes’ beautiful Elefanti may prove to be the show stopper. A carefully crafted, exploration on the power of memory, Elefanti shows a 90-year-old Italian man talking about lost loves. It’s a film that sneaks up on the viewer. It starts innocently and traditionally enough, but by the end, one it left speechless. Thanks in part to Hayes’ extraordinarily expressive and soulful eyes, we connect with the mournful joy of his reminiscences”

Steve Kokker,

Film Critic, Montreal Mirror

“I have worked with Jeremiah Hayes on five high-end documentaries. As an editor, I would say Jeremiah is in a league of his own. He is one of the most talented editors I have had the pleasure of working with. His passion for documentary infuses energy and compassion into his work, and his innovative and dynamic visual style brings power to everything he touches. He's an editor that can quickly see the real film through all the mounds of footage we directors bring into the editing room. His influence on Unbreakable Minds, Vendetta Song, Inside the Great Magazines and Canadaville USA was considerable and invaluable.  He also did some important work on the feature documentary, She Got Game.   He is a fast editor with an impressive ear for music, as well keen sense of storytelling and structure. He also is an excellent narration writer. He is definitely someone to have on your team. You can't go wrong with him. “

Abbey Neidik

Director/Producer

“This guy is an artist, a real creator, he transforms whatever he touches… I really feel good when I work with people so good. I love to learn and I learn from Jeremiah. Just the way he looks at people with tenderness and compassion and real interest in teaching a lesson. Life is so flat most of the time that when I meet someone who is capable of sparkling it, I am under le charme...”

Tiziana Saad,

Producer, Ideacom Productions

“A very talented Canadian editor. Jeremiah has worked for Cineflix over the past 4 years and is one of the best editors we have had the opportunity to work with.”

Glen Salzman, Executive ProducerCineflix Productions

“As a viewer, Silence & Storm moved me to me to tears. The filmmaker had earned the trust of these troubled kids. He let them speak for themselves and reach out to us.”

Rudy Lumsden,

Commissioning Editor, TVO

“Jeremiah’s editing in Unbreakable Minds was excellent. I kept thinking from the beginning, how great the cutting was, how smooth, good transitions, enough interludes, to give us time to process what we were experiencing, storytelling and structure that kept us enthralled, maintaining the heat quality all the way through. I am so glad you are working with a person I like very much and who from the beginning a great talent for making films.”
