Praise for APOLLOSPACE Films:

“Astronaut Rusty Schweickart’s story is one of the great ones, and the way this film [“Rusty Schweickart: Apollo 9 & Beyond”] tells the story has its own greatness,” – Stewart Brand, co-founder of Long Now Foundation and creator and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog (National Book Award).

“What was the real meaning of Apollo? The big meaning? That’s what I asked myself anticipating the 50th anniversary of that historic moment. Jeremy Theoret captured it in this film… this is what I believe. No small challenge.” – Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart.

“I am proud and honored to have been helpful in producing the beautiful piece of art that is this film. From the music to the visuals to what comes out of the mind of an amazing human being, this is a seamless and for me deeply emotional work that is a major contribution to the annals of space and also human history … You have produced something very special with this … What I get from it cannot be measured in any form of currency … I want to savor the incredibly warm feeling this film has given me, thank you for that gift.” – Martin Lollar, crowdfunding executive producer of the film.

“I have just reviewed the film you produced and it looks perfect to me. I think you did an outstanding job of capturing the important points that you wanted to bring out concerning the Gemini and Apollo programs.” Gen. Tom Stafford, Gemini 6, 9, Apollo 10, & ASTP astronaut

“… great productions. I like your down to earth more informal interview style … Keep up the good work. NASA has lots of oral history but it is not as interesting and personalized as what you create … Thanks for your great work preserving some history from those who flew!” Fred Haise, Apollo 13 LMP

“what a wonderful and amazing film. Fred Haise provides such a terrific narrative. The clarity of the filming of Fred’s historical and anecdotal recounting as well as the crystal-clear photographs is remarkable … It gives me great pride to have my name associated with this film and thank you for the exquisite and professional product.” – Arthur Siemientkowski, crowdsourcing producer of “Apollo 13 in Pictures and Words.”

Apollo Reflections: The General on Gemini & Apollo

Our third short in the “Apollo Reflections” series, “Apollo Reflections: The General on Gemini & Apollo” features Gemini and Apollo astronaut Gen. Tom Stafford.

In the film  General Stafford discusses all four of his missions, from his first, GT-6, which featured the first rendezvous of two spacecraft in orbit, to his last, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) and the first docking of two international spacecraft.  In between, he confronted angry alligators, endured spacewalks from hell, barnstormed the moon, brought a tumbling spaceship back under control, and  became (as he remains to this day) the fastest man alive.  Stafford also discusses his childhood inspirations, the significance and legacy of Apollo, the lessons and implications for humanity for international cooperation, seeing the Earth from space, and his thoughts on the future.

The interview was shot in 4K on May 19, 2019, at Gen. Stafford’s name sake museum and at a public event at his alma mater high school in Weatherford, OK, on the occasion of the 50^th anniversary of his Apollo 10 flight.
