From May through October 2007, for approximately one to two weeks each month, Sirens Media was at California State Prison-Solano. The communication established by the film crew was excellent. Their grasp of, and willingness to follow, safety and security operations and needs was exceptional. They were upfront with their filming needs and desires, and were understanding when those needs and desires did not conform with institutional policies and procedures. In every instance they were willing and able to conduct their business in such a way as to minimize any impact on the daily operations of the institution.
Throughout the process it was a pleasure working with their company. The willingness of the crew to accomodate our needs in creating a safe place and their ability to relate openly and honestly with the inmates enabled the process to go forward. The series they produced followed five inmates throughout their participation in the BAWAR Restorative Justice Program, Tawheed/Changing Faces. Upon completion we felt they handled the subject matter fairly, without sensationalizing or glamorizing the inmates. We would be happy to work with Sirens Media on their future projects, and wholeheartedly endorse them as a production company that works well with prisons and community-based organizations.
Oh my god.....I love the show.....It is so neat to see it all put together. Great Job. I just want to say that was really cool and a lot of fun, I wish we had more time for you guys when you were here. Hope all is going well.
I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed the show. All of the response by co-workers and friends has been positive as well. Even David's family liked your show much more than the other shows. I'm very impressed with the work you did, and with your willingness to work with us. The finished product was certainly worth the effort. I hope to be able to work with you again in the future. Good luck with the series. I hope it runs for a long time.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the work you do, and of course, for what you did for us this past Wednesday. You were all so helpful and attentive, and you made me feel more comfortable than I had ever imagined; you are true professionals. As you quickly discovered, this was a new experience for me, and I feel fortunate to have been guided through it by all of you.
Because Veterinary Forensics has only recently begun to attain credibility and acceptance, we are excited to have the opportunity to help inform the public about this subject, as well as, to contribute, in a small way, to the bigger picture. I would look forward to working with you again. I would appreciate it if you would pass this message on to all your teammates at Sirens Media that were here yesterday.
