EXCERPT FROM "FELDMANN FACTS-OCTOBER 1993":

Feldmann's First Film

Through a labor of love, a film was born... and in only 2 1/2 months!! "The Signing," commissioned by independent filmmaker Greg Ness, is a 21 minute heart-warming, dramatic piece about an elderly farmer faced with the pressures of loosing his farm, his memory, and his purpose. The film was shot on 16mm and posted on 1" videotape with original music composition and sound design.
