Matt Freidell, a video editor/producer who created a company called The Glossary to produce short trailers for books, wrote to say, “I read the novella included in your newest release The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and between the nostalgia of the actual Disney ride and all the great futuristic elements, it really conjured up some fantastic visuals. I noticed you didn’t have any kind of videos promoting it, so I decided to put together a little something in my spare time.”
That ‘little something’ is this tremendous video. I’m immensely gratified and grateful for Matt’s work, not to mention excited and delighted!
