"I am a student of UCI and I have seen your film, Bam 6.6, on Friday. May I say, that what you have took the initiative to do with the Iranian people and the country has changed my outlook on the Iranian people. I have never really thought about the people in Iran, or in the Middle East, but what you have filmed and documented has changed my perspective of the people and the country. What you have filmed, though Bam 6.6 is not completed, represents the country and the people and their culture and traditions."

"The earthquake, as devastating as it was, and my sympathies and prayers to the victims and their families, I believe is an event that may have changed the world and humanity. I believe your film will be the start of what may change the world's outlook on Iran."

"Take for example, America: it is a country of many race and along with the diversity, many issues. America is the hallmark of issues and diversity."

"In 9/11, the scare of America of the Middle-Eastern peoples, has changed the perspective of the cultures today. The Middle-Eastern people were feared and leered by the rest of the American society and what followed that fear and was hatred and violence. I believe these people are innocent. Although you may represent Iran, symbolically, it is the rest of the Middle East that your film represents. My thoughts on your film is that once released to the rest of the world, you can calm the fear and reassure the American society that these people are not what they seem to be on television. What you have filmed and documented will change everything; it will hopefully open the hearts of those that were once cold and closed."

"I understand that you did not film this for a political sense, rather, it was filmed to represent the victims in Bam and to find support for these victims, but your film could be more than just support for the victims in Bam, it will support the Iranian culture and its people all around the world for their misjudged and stereotyped life."

"I hope what I have said have not offended in anyway, for what I say is simply my thoughts after I have watched your film and I was touched by it, especially the story of Adele and Tobb."

"I would like to say congratulations on your film and I wish you good luck on your film's development."
