Joe- I haven't spent too much time in Cleveland in my life but I have been reading about all your updates on The Sax Man and thought that it seemed so interesting and like such a great idea for a film! Coincidentally, I spent the weekend in Cleveland and got to experience The Sax Man first hand. I couldn't help but stop and soak in the beautiful music he was playing so effortlessly! I'm so happy to help back The Sax Man.. I hope that everything all comes together for it and I know that you will make a great film!
Creator Lauren Brown on August 4, 2012

Creator Denise Teeters on July 20, 2012
I know Joe Siebert through a mutual friend and because he attended Malone University, as did my son. Joe is a super talented guy and a wonderful person. I am happy to support him in making his film. The subject, The Sax Man, is a man I have enjoyed as part of my experience when I go to Cleveland for other events. I always stop and listen and enjoy his music and his wonderful, colorful, personality. Put the talents of these two people together and it has to be a very heartwarming and successful venture. Believe me, if I had money I would be kicking in much more but I am happy to help this project move forward in baby steps if need be. I hope all my friends get on board too. Good luck Joe Siebert & Todd Bemak and thank you for documenting a wonderful part of Cleveland history, this musical genius character of a man, The Sax Man.

My husband and I have seen the Sax Man in Cleveland for years, and always wondered about his story. People need to support this project to learn more about one of Cleveland's hidden treasures. And Joe...I've been watching your filmmaking journey since you were in high school. I'm so incredibly proud of how far you've come, and beyond delighted to think of the great heights you'll reach! I'll always be one of your biggest fans!
