Vincent, You rock!!!! I am a big fan of Alien III, and even though the film’s theatrical version had holes I admired the story. Now I know where the story originated from!

Your vision for this is fantastic and I admire the fact that you didn’t compromise on it.

I am going to seek out your other work. Thanks for a great website and thanks because I enjoyed your contribution to a great series that is Alien!

Mr. Ward,

Map of the Human Heart remains one of the most poignant films I have ever seen. I watched it again on Netflix tonight after much time. Afterwards, I read on Wikipedia that the movie started with a 10-page treatment you wrote. Is there any chance you would share that treatment? I’m fascinated with the challenge of moving from the treatment to the film.

Respectfully – David

What are the best movies nobody has heard of?…

Some great films that I have seen and others that, as promised, I have never heard of! I could go on and on – but one I would add without thinking too hard are:

I just watched Map of the Human Heart and i kept thinking this is strange, it’s so similar to my dream i had of a love who had died. So i kept wondering, “who wrote this??” And through that search found out you’re the same director of “What Dreams May Come” which also had, what I felt were many truths and synchronicities, just quick example, i remember dreaming about the sea of heads, except there was also a blimp in my dream…just too hard to relate it all…what really finally made me decide to write here was the fact that the very next day after watching “Map…” i was cleaning my room and because of limited space decided to put a bunch of my journals up in the attic, i decided to keep one out because it looked like an odd ball and wasn’t finished and thought i’d look it over at bedtime, and the first thing i turn to is the dream entry for October 11, 2007 that reminded me of your movie, i thought, “wow, i couldn’t have found that entry if i tried”, even though it was a dream i will never forget. Probably all doesn’t mean much to you and i can’t say i understand the synchronicity myself except that it’s definitely standing out. Went to look for your other movies but can’t seem to get any of them through Netflix streaming, hopefully someday soon, I’m very curious!

I saw The Navigator when I was living in Sydney. I just loved it. I especially remember the dates in it : 25th May (my birthday) and 7 March (wedding annv) (how scarey is that!. And (as a NZer living in Auz) I remembered it was a New Zealand-Australian collaboration.
I have been searching for the name of this movie, like, forever… as I couldn’t remember the title, I thought it was The Seeker or The Searcher (Navigator – doh).
I would love to see it again. I am completing my BA in History and am doing Medieaval papers.
Re-release? TVNZ??? Plague – very topical!

Cheers,
Trish

I love The Navigator and I’m sure the events surrounding Alien³ will have generated a lot of interest in the film. However it has been deleted for a very long time. I live in the UK and to get a copy I had to bid on ebay for a Spanish DVD for some considerable money.

I realise that I have no intellectual rights to the film and that it being a creation of yours you may be protective of what happens to it. I’m asking permission if it would be possible to upload my copy of the film onto youtube? I totally understand if this would not be acceptable to you. I just think the film deserves a wider audience. I would provide a link to this website on any upload but will not do anything until I receive any permission

Best wishes.

James

Hi Vincent,

Thank you very much for all your fantastic films and paintings. You’ve got a wonderful mind and you’re a great visionary artist.

I’ve just watched this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1VG7RgDFF0

I wish I live in New Zealand to see your beautiful and incredible paintings.

I hope to buy your book “The Past Awaits” this winter at Christmas.

Greetings from Slovakia!

Vincent,

What Dreams May Come is my favorite movie and it has been since my freshman year in high school. It inspired me to read the book which has since changed my outlook on life. I have searched all over the internet for a poster to hang in my dorm room in college, but can’t find one. It’s so sad! But, thank you for making such a beautiful movie.

Hi Vincent,

I love your films very much! Vigil, Navigator, Map of the Human Heart, What dreams may come, River Queen and Rain of the Children are fantastic and wonderful films, specially Map of the Human Heart, is one of my favourite films of all time.

It’s a pity that I can’t get your first two movies, I hope to get it someday.

I’d like to know if you are currently planning or working on a new film.

Thank you very much for your films.

Cheers from Spain!
