    Hello Kees, The short answer to that is no. We do plan on doing a straight educational music theory cut that I am guessing will be in the 3 hour range for the DVD. But the 6.5 hour cut is just something I would not want out there at the moment. It is too long in my opinion, even for some of our backers who are music educators, piano tuners, etc... There is redundancy in the information in it, and it is an assembly cut, which means no graphics and sound mixing, etc... So, as a filmmaker I would not want anyone to see it. Hopefully you can understand that. Its like musicians publishing a jam session as an album. The elements of the album are in there, but it needs to be polished. Michael

        I'd love to see that 6.5 hour assembly cut. Is that possible?

    30 Clips 30 Days! Day 10: Religion is a major influence....

    One third of the way through our raw interview clips!

    Here is Oshada from Sri Lanka. He talks about the different religions in Sri Lanka and how they view adultery.

    Religion actually has a major factor in who is unfaithful (no pun intended). The more religious the country, the less adultery is committed (in general, there are a few exceptions). So, shockingly, a country like the United States (whom most feel is probably higher on the unfaithful scale) is actually in the bottom 25% of unfaithful couples.
