  Not only was this movie great fun to work on, it turned out to be a very enjoyable film. I was the Script Supervisor on this film and when I first saw the script I thought it would be an okay "Lifetime Movie of the Week" type film. However, the entire cast and crew were so excited and dedicated to making a truly great film. And baby, it shows. Carolyn is a spirited and rebellious young woman who is ill. She has Cystic Fibrosis and is constantly pushing her health to the limit with her motorcycling and hiking. Jimmy is concerned, at times over-protective older brother and Fred is the man that Carolyn meets and falls for and from whom Jimmy is trying to protect Carolyn. The story is a simple expression of love. Love of the brother and sister and the intimate and quickly realized love of Carolyn and Fred. The cinematography is excellent- Rob Schein continues to prove himself with every chance he gets. Ely Mennin did a fantastic job as director. The cast cannot be praised enough. Great job all around. Something I am proud to have been a part of
