  "It's great. We call it a 'personal documentary' … a documentary on Vance's career but it's also how the blues music and how things have affected Kai-Duc while he's been living here … Kai as a chicago filmmaker is pretty cool … this guy's got some talent... he quit his job just to focus on filmmaking and finishing this film. It's reflective, it's poetic … those kind of reflections, sort of internal musings are juxtaposing with Vance Kelly who's a real showman and very raunchy. This film has a lot of character and personality."
