Hi Mason, I like your story about Reggie and how your related to the character. I think the challenges Reggie goes through are similar to how your personal challenges have helped you understand others and help them too. I think it's a good metaphor to show Reggie as a pizza slice since he is a likeable guy and pizza is good cuisine to share with people.

congratulations i really love your last submission

Thank you for coming back to watch it! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Congratulations Mason! This was such an amazing story, the editing was incredible, and the drawings were all so charming! Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see what you do in the future!

Thank you and congratulations to you! I really feel honored to be mentioned in the same category with you and Zoey. Your work has been amazing and I was so excited to hear your name announced last night!! I am sure I will be seeing more of your work in the future!

Thank you Mason!

Congratulations Mason! I knew you would win! :D

I was so excited to see your submission win!! We called it from day one it was that good. When you were announced my family was cheering with me for you. Congratulations!!

Me and my family were cheering so much for you too! When they had one more to announce we knew yours would get picked. We loved Reggie ever since we first saw him!

I really enjoyed the story. Its lesson is really relatable for both kids and adults. Keep up the great work.

Thanks! That is actually what I was hoping, that both kids and adults would enjoy it and relate to it. I appreciate that!

Hi Mason! I'm so glad to see your final submission!

I don't know if I can tell you something new that I haven't told you before, but I want to thank you for sharing your story with us. It's a beautiful way of explaining the problems that unfortunately many people face. I greatly admire the courage to share your own story with us, as well as the enthusiasm you have put into all this. I believe that your positive attitude is an example for many people.

I really hope to see this story at the ceremony, since without a doubt you deserve it. Congratulations on finishing the Xperiential program! If you ever need any help, reach me on Discord!

I was excited to see you on here and immediately went to check on your project (which was amazing)! Thank you for the encouragement and support along the way too. I greatly admire your work so it is a big compliment that you liked my story. I have learned a lot in this group and I am glad I decided to do this. I would have missed out on a lot if I didn't! I am going to miss all of you but will check out Discord for sure!

Hi Mason! It has been a pleasure to share this experience with you, let's keep in touch on Discord! :)

Such a beautiful story portrayed through a creative and interesting concept. You did a great job!

Thank you so much! This class challenged me and I am just really happy I came up with something that you all enjoyed. It is nice to feel a part of this group of so many talented minds!

This is a wonderful story, using your own experiences to help educate and inform others is amazing, I have no words that could explain how good this was. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story, and I hope to see it in theaters soon!

Thank you! I have learned a lot in the past few years and I am glad you have enjoyed hearing my story. I appreciate the compliments too! Makes me feel like all the time was definitely worth it!

I thought I would come and comment on your video since you always do a good job commenting on other peoples videos. This was a heart warming story and I liked it a lot. This story reminded me of my friend who is very brave like Reggie. I think this is so well done yet in a way that can appeal to all ages. Very great job!

Thank you! I had hoped it would be a story that any age could enjoy. I like that it reminds you of a friend too. I really enjoyed this class (and your story too! I went over to watch it since I saw you on here) and tried to learn from all of you. I also liked how supportive this class was in so many ways. Thank you for commenting and watching my final submission!

I can’t believe how much work you put into this story! Great work. So many beautiful drawings and good editing makes the story so good! Wow!

I appreciate that so much because it was a lot of work for me! I am sure like you with Chico, when you have a story you are excited to share it is nice to know it was enjoyed. My mom helped teach me about editing since that was pretty new for me too. ;)

Thank you so much, Nicolas! I tried to think of how to show autoimmune disease, cancer, or other illnesses in a way where it could apply to anyone and in a way that would make sense. When I thought of food, which led me to pizza, it all just clicked. Thanks so much for not only watching my project but also commenting!

The pizza/gluten issue fit so well with your story. That was a great comparison. This was a wonderful way to tell life story.

Just want to say this was incredibly inspirational. It was moving and you can't really ask for a piece of art to do more than that. You've inspired me to give blood as well so thank you thank you for all the hard work you did on this!!!! Please come back and keep making your stories :)

Thank you so much!! Your comment just made my whole day because I really hoped it would be all the things you said it was. Also, I am so excited you are inspired to give blood. One blood donation can save up to 3 lives, which I think is amazing. True heroes!! Thank you for taking the time to make this comment. You have inspired me to keep going with this and I have enjoyed this class so, so much. I appreciate all of the hard work that went into giving all of us the opportunity to be better story tellers and artists. I learned a lot and had fun!

That was SO AMAZING. It’s so great that you told your own story through this class, and your bravery and kindness really shined through Reggie. The short was so heartfelt and I could really feel how much you put into this project, I was tearing up while watching it. The story was very compelling, your drawing and coloring were great, and the music really added to it. I love how you added clips of yourself doing all the things you drew Reggie doing, to really show others that they can make a difference in their own lives, not just in stories. You’re a real hero, and it’s amazing that you decided to tell your story. Such great work, 10/10!

I am so glad you said that. I really hoped that others would see what you can do in real life too, doesn't always have to be just a story. Kinda like your story too. Size, age, it doesn't matter! I am glad you enjoyed the story, I had fun telling it and hoped there might be some actual lessons in it. Thank you so much for watching it and I really will miss checking back here for your updated projects!
