NEWSPAPER CLIPPING FROM PIQUA DAILY CALL ABOUT "QUANTUM GIRL VS. THE SON OF THE MAD BLASTER"

"As an Indie Purist, the creation, filming and distribution is done without any corporate, commercial, government, public or private financial assistance. While in undergraduate school with Journalism as my minor I was told by my Professor that my job as a free lance magazine writer was not to write great stories, not even mediocre stories, but to sell the products advertised in that magazine. He was right. I went on to become a freelance writer because that was my dream. But I did it his way. Our society is shrouded in a dark cloud of consumerism. I try as an indie purist to brush away that cloud, just a little bit."

Jack Bowman August 2002
