   Thanks, I'm glad you and others liked it. It was the first bit of
video editing I ever did. I went to work the night the studio got the
editing system, and I made a rough version. The process of making a
version, bringing it home for Vickie and our friends to watch and
critic (Vickie suggested several of the edits and did some actual
editing on one of the earlier versions).

 The version on the tape is 2.0 (beta). This is the first one
with good quality audio, as all the earlier versions were based on a
cassette tape. I'm not yet happy with it as I wasn't able to operate the
edit controller myself, and a few of the edits and dissolves are not
quite right yet. Kate has versions 1.0a and 1.1. 

   I would *love* for the film to someday finally be released on tape
in a letterbox version as the original film is in cinemascope.

  Again, I'm very happy that people like it, and I hope that nobody
minded my putting it on there (seeing as it isn't really a "Kate
video" i.e. a TV appearence or official video.)
