​Because we had the bike shop in Hollywood, we have had many features written about us over the years including the Wall Street Journal, Guardian, Fortune Magazine, L.A. Times and many more, and no one previously captured the essence of what we do as well as Kim has and been able to put it on paper.

Working with Kim was both an eye and heart opening experience that allowed me to move my project forward with clarity and purpose. Through a series of focused conversations and brainstorming sessions, I was able to make tangible progress on a long-standing creative endeavor. I look forward to working with Kim in the future!

Kim is expert at making everyone feel comfortable with assurances and reinforcements that wrong answers and wrong ways of doing things were not a possibility. This was one of the best three hours of my time ever spent. -- a terrific experience.

I have just sat outside on a warm Friday afternoon in London and watched your film. It is really lovely and emotional. What a great arts project you have captured in such a moving way (and less than 15 minutes!) all the impacts of the arts personal, social, cultural, emotional, physical, economic, catalytic ... wonderful.
