Dear Roger --
I was surprised and delighted to receive your response to my message!
I fully agree with your points about what is "normal" and who are we to decide who is "normal." I suppose that it depends on how the subjects of your film are treated - if they are treated with warmth, gentle humor and fun, yet with respect, then that's certainly a different approach than that of the mainstream media. If that is what you have done, then please accept my apologies for making assumptions about your film. I know I came off judgmental about the subjects in your film -- I admit that I sounded very condescending toward them. There are all sorts of fans I've met in fandom over the years and it is unfair to lump people in one simple category because of how they choose to live their life. It's simply my sensitivity over the years to how Trek fans are perceived by the mainstream--it may have caused me to go overboard in my response.
Your reply was very thoughtful. I look forward to seeing your film.
Thanks again.
Sandra Necchi
