Hi, Hannah: Playing for Keeps just ended its premiere at the Mill Valley Film Festival. When distribution is set, we'll post information about it. We all want very much to see it!

Thanks for your speedy reply.  Yes, it would be good for all our members to be able to see it.  Perhaps we can create a Zoom tribute and show it to all out members that sign in.

An incalculable loss to his family, friends, colleagues, and legions of followers across the globe. Certainly, his legacy lives on in his body of work, but the void remains.

I was moves and saddened by the untimely passing of Jamie Redford.  I would love to see his latest film since the topic of Play is such an important one in our life as adults.  We need to preserve our playfulness and creativity in order to find new resilience to deal with all the sadness that permeates our life in the current pandemic.  Only love connection and playfulness will help us create a better now and hopeful future.

I am asking anyone who knows where one can see the film "Playing for Keeps: The Upside of Downtime”, to post it on the info page so that we all can see it.

Jamie Redford is an American hero taking on the task of merging art and science.  I am ever grateful to him for making PAPER TIGERS and RESILIENCE and helping us give a voice to the ACEs movement.

Heartbroken.  Not other word can describe this loss of such a gentle soul and humanitarian.  I will never forget that night in San Francisco when we went to dinner together after the film talk with you two and Dr. Nadine Burke Harris.  So grateful he lived.  He touched so many in our world.  He made our world a better place.  He came, he was loved and he gave love.  A life well lived but oh, too short.

His two movies, "Paper Tigers" and "Resilience" have impacted my life in so many ways, will be truly grateful or Mr. Redford's insight and willingness to share.

I had the honor of chatting with him for a long time at a reception following the screening he and Nadine Burke Harris did of Resilience in Albany in 2017. He was so down to earth, sincere and honestly interested in so many different things.  This feels tragic. We will miss you dearly Jamie but thank you for contributing so much to the world. I feel my career trajectory was definitely impacted by the film and that chat. Presente!

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Bless him and those he loved and that loved him.

A world is changed by his having been through it. And it will continue to be changed by his influence.

Fair skies and following winds.

Such sad news. Though we never met, Jamie was such a champion of trauma informed care and ACEs.  His films have inspired thousands individually and many communities to pay attention to this science.  I recommend using them in the toolkit I co-authored on how to trauma inform a community as well as in many of my presentations. In 2017 when I first began working with a local Alternative High School - it was “Paper Tigers” that inspired our work. After we began to see some amazing outcomes, I emailed Jim Sporleder to thank him for putting their story into film.   He shared my note with Jamie who kindly wrote both myself and the school Principal to cheer us on ❤️  God bless you Jamie.  Your family and ACEs friends are in my thoughts and prayers.

Great sadness and shock... no words.

"Paper TIgers" is and will always be an important movie...and I am grateful to Mr. Redford for his attention and care. He made this world a better place. My heart is full of sympathy for his family and friends.
