Happy Independence Day 2007

Six years ago on this day I was fortunate enough to be in Philadelphia for the filming of a reading of the Declaration of Independence by some of Hollywood's finest actors. It was an experience I will never forget being in Indepence Hall in the very place the document was signed 225 years earlier.

That film, which is introduced by Morgan Freeman and featured Mel Gibson, Ed Norton, Michael Douglas and many others was directed by Rob Reiner and shot by renowned cinematographer Conrad Hall shortly before his death. It was an inspired reading that was beautifully produced by Caste Rock Entertainment.

So, in the frenzy of beers, backyard barbeques and fireworks, take a moment to enjoy the words of our forefathers that started this whole crazy experiment we proudly call the United States of America.
