FAITH GRANGER FILMS

"My wife and I watched the movie last night. All I can say is WOW! We both thought it was very well done and enjoyed it very much. I cannot imagine what kind of effort it must have taken to get all of this done. It was so much better than most of what is out there today, we also believe it should be on the big screen. The passion of the filmmaker shows in every frame of the movie." - Gary Vail

"The movie is awesome! I really like the hot rod scenes and my wife liked the love story" - Adam Caldwell

"All I can say is WOW !!! Inspirational and motivating !! The film was great and I seriously dug it. Like many have already said ..... It is better then most of the stuff that's out at the theater now. It really should be on the big screen for others to watch. The camera work (angles) depth of some of the shots were just second to none and Faith Granger can show some "experienced film makers" a thing or two. She truly made something special. " - Jeff Neppl

"It's a great movie! A well done chick-flick with lotsa car action, kinda like Piero De Luca meets Nicholas Sparks" - Donald Coleman

"Watched DEUCE OF SPADES again tonight with the girlfriend, and kids even. Everybody was into the movie start to finish. Never a dull moment. Afterwards the girlfriend couldn't talk to me for about an hr about the movie. Finally asked her to rate it on a scale of 1-10 and got a 10." - Jeff

"Can't wait to give my friend his copy. I liked the film even more the 2nd time I watched it. I think Faith Granger already has a "cult classic" on her hands" - Anonymous

" You did not just touch my heart, you went straight through it! Growing up in Sweden on American Graffiti and dreams of the 50´s I have seen just about every movie ever made that included any of that, and this movie of yours is the best one I have ever seen. Thank You so very much for fighting for your dream, it was well worth it and you will inspire many, many people. This movie will be known forever as one of the big ones, and frankly, I think you just started an avalanche." - Peter Place, classic car collector / trader

"This is an Oscar movie! The love story is even better then the movie "The Notebook" - Crystal Dossett

"Bonjour Faith. Je ne sais comment commencer, car tant d'émotions me bouleversent après la vision de ton film! Quel bhoneur de regarder DEUCE OF SPADE, il y avait bien lontemps que je n'avais pas vu un film de cette qualité, écrie, réalisé, produit et joué par toi; quel justesse. Je dis chapeaux bas, tour de force incroyable. Si je n'habitais pas de l'autre coté de l'atlantique j'aurais adoré participé à la réalisation de ce film même comme simple aide de camps. DEUCE OF SPADE respire la sincérité et la noblesse d'âme, l'esprit du hot roding est là dans tout ce qu'il y a de plus grand. Car c'est bien la le secret, l'esprit, l'âme. C'est à peine croyable,on pourrais presque palper les émotions, cette alchimie presque magique qui relie quatre destins à une machine, le DEUCE OF SPADE, prolongement de l'âme à la matière. Ton film touche la perfection, amour, foi, bonté d'âme, noblesse, courage, passion, ténacité. Une belle leçon de vie." - Alexandre Chatelle - FRANCE

" Truly a work of diligence & hard work! All photography was at its best, all scenes were of great quality, and the filmmaker was adamant on keeping the period of props very close to reality.(...) All the actors did a superb job (...) "Good job"! - Don Thomas, LA ROADSTERS

"All I can say is ... Faith Granger has created a timeless masterpiece. The hot rod culture, the meticulous attention to period detail, the characters, the story, the beautiful cinematography, the music, the whole package: I don’t think I’m going over the edge when I say I had flashes of Bergman and Wells watching Deuce of Spades. DEUCE OF SPADES gets even better with each viewing and it's artistry is a pleasure to experience! Granger put Hollywood studios to shame. If there is any justice, she will have a great future in film." - Kevin Bishop - CANADA

“As a highly original independent film DEUCE OF SPADES stands out proudly from the pack, but as a very first feature from a brand new, self-taught director who’s learned literally EVERYTHING she knows on the job, it is simply unparalleled. This film and the story behind its creation are extraordinary, and nothing this filmmaker accomplishes in the future will surprise me; she’s that good.” - Brendan Davis, Producer (DEADGIRL, ROUGH HUSTLE)

"The ride was long , but after seeing the film my ride meant nothing. I am very grateful that Faith Granger came up with such a fantastic film. Timothy Luke and the others did a very awesome job.

" - Sir Spencer Simon, car owner

"I have never seen a TRULY independent movie that is set on a time period done so well, let alone by a first time filmmaker. Faith Granger has really proven herself to be very talented and I can't wait to see what she tackles next. Although this is not a big budget film, the story is solid and the ability to extract emotion from the audience is as powerful as many of today's Hollywood movies. This is a gem for sure and if nothing else, the story of how it was made will inspire artists throughout the world to pursue their dreams and create." - Luis Sinibaldi, Producer.

"I came to the premiere on Sunday with high expectations for seeing a true 50's hot rod movie. My expectations were certainly met but I had not expected to be taken on an emotional roller coaster; it's rare that I cry in a movie but the film got to me." - Les Bateman

"I can't stop thinking about this film, and the more I read about the process, the more impressed I become. Then I saw the picture of Faith and her camera... OMG.... That was P2??? I shoot P2 for NBC and it sure the hell never looked like that!! WOW. I'm stunned." - Lori Bentley Law, photographer.

"Faith Granger's Deuce of Spades is an incredible accomplishment of dedication, grit and talent. The cars, the clothes, the dancing and the environment she has created are so authentic that you are transported to another time. But Deuce of Spades is not just for hot rodders! It is a celebration of the cars and hotrodders of that era yes, but it is much more than that. It is a love story that grabs your heart while the beautifully filmed scenes mesmerize your eyes. Newcomer Timothy Luke, is an exciting star...ala James Dean. Very impressive first film. A must see!" - C. Campbell

"I must say I was lucky enough to be at the Test Screening of DEUCE OF SPADES. I was engrossed right from the beginning of the movie and up till the very end.

The dialogues and actors were right on as if it were the fifties all over again. I have many adjectives to describe DEUCE OF SPADES but for now I'll just say it was AWESOME!....I can't wait to see it again." - Sam Stray

"Loved the film ... Loved all of it... The characters... I feel that is where the movie gets it life... The attention to period detail is on the money..

In St. Paul, Minnesota where I live I was in a Car Club called "The Jokers Wild" I just wanted to say how this movie brought back so many of my own car club memories....I never had a second chance. I can see why Faith Granger turned down major studio backing, she did it her way and did it right, they would have wrecked it." - Paul Busta

It’s now about 1:20 AM, I watched the movie, the extra features, and director’s commentary all in one sitting! The movie was awesome and amazing. It touched every emotion… You cannot watch this movie without laughing and crying. Faith Granger's ability to blend a timeless love story with a hot rod theme was really thrilling to watch. Her care in making sure everything was historically accurate was readily apparent and is a testimony to her dedication to the project. She is truly a gifted artist." - Mike Drennan

"Deuce Of Spades is one of those films which can be enjoyed repeatedly, due in great part to the filming style, the scenery, and the music.
