Larry G 02/17/2024 Noah benShea is a very close friend over six decades, so I may be biased. But think about this: how many friends stay close over a lifetime? There must be a reason. This film is the culmination of many years for Noah. I've watched him grow. I've always been impressed with the quickness of his mind. He loves to play with words. He loves to give advice. He loves an audience. And he rarely disappoints . So if you want to understand why he is special, watch Jacob the Baker. It's quite an accomplishment See more jeff a 02/05/2024 Full disclosure, I have a personal and professional connection with this project, going back over twenty years. Having said that, I was blown away with the power and authenticity of this movie, let alone just full out amazed at how they pulled it off during the pandemic. I saw the film in a packed theater with an audience containing many hard core industry veterans and it was amazing to watch them just melt, and experience the waves of warmth and healing and transformation that I witnessed. It is so human, so universally relatable, and so honestly and simply done, and the effect starts early and gets in deep with a message that's here to stay: we all matter. we're all connected, none of us are all that different from each other, and it is the hope and belief in our own human-ness that will ultimately set us free.

Produced with great care. Most of all, hopeful. Given the state of the world, it takes a certain kind of courage to deliver a message of hope so fearlessly. Bravo! See more Kathryn R 12/17/2023 Uniquely creative and timely film with a message of hope and kindness. See more David S 11/15/2023 A film that will remind you that there is still plenty of good in the world, and that will make you want to try to do a little better to be part of that good.
