From Carey Peterson Co-Director of Every Second Counts -

” Sevan and I want this film to be finished and available to the community and world more than anyone. This has been a labor of love for both of us for the last 8+ months. During that time there has been only a handful of days where hours and hours of work weren’t being put into the movie. We are crushing this movie, and it is actually being completed on a pace and schedule that is incredibly fast for a project of this size.

We are stoked on the enthusiasm that the community has for the pending release of the movie.

Hang tight. It’s coming and it will be worth the wait.”
