A few words on Maniacts This project is without a doubt one of the best projects that Ric has had the priviledge to work on. The cast and crew worked long hours and all involved put in their best individual efforts into the making of this film. The reception it received at the Santa Fe film festival was outstanding, so much so that it was held over for a 3rd viewing and every showing was to a packed house. Standing room only! Much credit must be given to Mr Curt Cressler, the writer and director, as well as the producers, Mr Billy Blake and Jenny Hinkey. A big Thank You to Mr Cressler, Jenny Hinkey and the rest of the cast & crew, I hope to be able to work with you in the future - Ric Barela |
