To the Editor:

I’m a big West Coast fan of Jimmy Ward (“Manahawkin Filmmaker’s New Short to Screen,” 5/29). I followed him from a distance as the days approached the release of his film “Chance Encounter” along with his director’s cut on June 3 in Manahawkin.

I live in San Francisco, where I first met Jimmy just over two years ago after I answered his invitation to come onboard a short film he was working on – not for school, not for a deadline, just for the craft.
