SPEECH BY: Frank Stiefel
FILM: "Heaven Is a Traffic Jam on the 405"
FRANK STIEFEL: My kids are hosting an Oscar party which I think probably just got a lot louder. This is amazing for so many reasons. The source of this film is the source of everything that's gone well for me for the last forty years, it's my wife BJ Dockweiler. To Ting Poo, Casey Price, Paul Maroon, Masaki Yokochi, Ben Marias, thank you for giving the film what I couldn't. To Mindy, who's somewhere up there. Mindy, I'm really proud of this, but I always knew, but I always knew that the only reason people would care about it is because we all care about you. Thank you.
