Amelia Earhart

"Thank You, Amelia Earhart" is an unflinching look at a woman whose heart takes her on a dark and conflicted journey which ultimately teaches her that love never dies."
- WorldFest Houston international jury, April, 2023

"Between the dynamic filmmaking team of Al and Brandi Mertens, the deeply personal nature of the material, along with Al’s genuine artistic vision and willingness to take risks, ‘Thank You, Amelia Earhart’ succeeds in doing what few films do: it leaves a lasting impression.”
