Ellen Tauscher, Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs (then US Representative from CA 10th District whose prematurely born daughter was cared for by Candy in the NICU): “I am forever grateful to the many medical professionals and technicians who provided state of the art care and heartfelt support to us in Katherine’s earliest days and weeks… Congratulations on your excellent film.”
John Rothmann, KGO Talk Radio host interviewed nurse/filmmaker/actress Candy Campbell on his show and referred to “Micropremature Babies: How Low Can You Go?”as a “stunning and important work.”
Advances In Neonatal Care states, “… an excellent source for parents to find hope in shared experiences. By watching this film, parents new to dealing with prematurity could encounter a little less fear in the whirlwind of decisions and procedures. Hearing that at least one family struggled to bond through the tangle of wires and tubes, or another mother suffered by not being able to hold the child separated from her womb too soon, or a couple felt confusion arriving home with no child in arms, new parents could anticipate and perhaps better weather the journey of assisting their premature infants to their best possible future.”
Neonatal Network writes, “ This touching video…is essential for any health care provider who is new to the field of neonatology.“
Craig Issod, Easter Seals Bay Area , VP External Affairs writes: “On behalf of the thousands of people who receive Easter Seals services, thank you for your great work on “Micropremature Babies: How Low Can You Go?” You have done a great service by telling stories of hope and promise. Thank you again for your efforts.”
Hester Schell, author of Casting Revealed, says: “Candy brings deep integrity and commitment to everything she does. Her film, HOW LOW CAN YOU GO, about micropremature births, is a must see for anyone interested in life choices, anyone needing solace who has been through this experience.”
Dr. Jon McNeff, Senior Pastor of NorthCreek Church (Walnut Creek, CA) writes:
“….this film has the potential to bring encouragement and hope to parents who experience a premature birth as well as give them a reliable sense of what is happening. It is also an incredible visual “thank you ” to the medical professionals who work tirelessly to bring the fruits of research and technology together to work for the preservation of these lives. I was deeply moved to see the God given miracle of birth portrayed in such a thoughtful and gentle way. Each of the little ones you featured is much more than ‘potential life.’ Thank you so much for giving them a voice.”
Carol Geiser, BSN, RN, Maternal-Child Educator, says, “This film is very sensitive to the premature baby’s side of the story, as well as what the parents go through in the weeks and months after birth, watching their little babies go through so much just to survive. Mothers considering assisted fertilization techniques, with the inherent risks of multiple gestation, should watch this film prior to conception techniques to encourage more empathetic decisions regarding the risks of premature delivery when carrying multiples.”
Don Schwartz, Cinesource Magazine writes,“The message is clear: loving care makes the biggest difference which, of course, applies to all children. Such care was also evident in making the film.”
Michael Brown, award-winning Filmmaker & Director, says, “What’s amazing to me, is the details are already in place – perfectly formed hands – wow! Very well done. Kudos!”
